There's been a lot of talking From the town where I come from All my friends are saying things Which make me doubt sincerity What is the meaning Of a truth or a lie? What is the meaning Of the things we feel inside? I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) In looking at your eyes The feeling of love swells within my soul Every word that I say Has no meaning when you turned away Why do I stay here When I feel this way? Why do I need to see you On my darkest day? I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) I can see your little boy Reminding me of who I was I can see a little girl She looks like you I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) I felt the pain (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry) (Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
