Lyrics of Smile by Katy Perry
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Smile)
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile)
verse
Goin' through motions felt so fake
Felt like I failed the test
pre-chorus
But every tear has been a lesson
Rejection can be God's protection
Long hard road to get that redemption
But no shortcuts to a blessin'
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Smile)
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile)
verse
Used to be dull, now I sparkle
Had a piece of humble pie
That ego check saved my life
pre-chorus
Now I got a smile like Lionel Richie
Big and bright, need shades just to see me
Tryna stay alive just like I'm the Bee Gees (Oh, woah)
A Mona Lisa masterpiece (Now I'm)
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (C'mon, smile, woo)
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful (So grateful)
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile, oh, oh)
bridge
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally (Oh)
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Woo, smile)
chorus
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile, oh, oh)
outro
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally
