I Love Your Smile Lyrics
Shanice
doo doo doo doo doooo doo...)
sittin in my class
just drifting away
staring into the windows of the world
i cant hear the teacher
his books don't call me at all
i don't see the bad boys tryin to catch some play
cause i love your smile
(doo doo doo doo doo doo doo....)
CHORUS:
time came and showed me your direction
now i know ill never ever go back
taught me that
i can be a better girl
with the love you give you rock my world... you dig
RAP:
i'm showin the life that im livin
this is the life that i have and it's givin to you
yea and it's true
la-d-da
twinkle-d
do you
believe in a girl like me
shanice is the one for you to be with
but when im caught all alone
i start fessin, its from state of depression
and the thunder clouds of doubt movin
and i begin to wonder, do you still love me?
but after that
my whole world is beautiful
(saxophone plays)... blow branford blow
CHORUS
...smile
