Mary J Blige - Smile Lyrics

[Mary J. Blige:]
If I tell the truth, I would say that I've been hurt many times before
So it's hard for me to ever wanna give anybody, anybody else love
What's bitter and broken until you, shoved inside my heart
I guess God needs you where you are
'Cause the pain I felt before, don't exist anymore

You light up my dark, oh
I been broken for a long time
Now I'm standing in the sunshine
It's kinda crazy how you make me smile
'Cause the winds in my life been blowing
But you make me smile
And I wanna know how
'Cause I never thought I had enough
I been holding back a lot of love
But you make me smile
And I wanna know how
'Cause it's scaring me, darling
And I'm falling and falling
Just make sure you catch me
I'm only thinking 'bout now
How you make me smile, smile, smile

[Prince Charlez:]
I feel strong, I feel well
I feel confident, better about myself
Life was dust, yeah, turned to coal
And I guess it's your time, you found a diamond in the rough

So you lighten up my dark, my dark
I been broken for a long time
Now I'm standing in the sunshine
It's kinda crazy how you make me smile
'Cause the winds in my life been blowing
But you make me smile
And I wanna know how
'Cause I never thought I had enough
I been holding back a lot of love
But you make me smile
And I just wanna know how

And I been touching all around, you know
I been looking all around for you
And I finally see the light
Took me a long time
But I'm glad I finally know the truth
[Mary J. Blige:]
I forgot about the hurt I knew
I just wanna give my love to you
[Mary J. Blige & Prince Charlez:]
'Cause a mirror don't scare me
Now

I feel strong, I feel well
I feel confident, better about myself
You're really making me smile
You make me smile
And I just wanna know how
'Cause it's scaring me, darling
And I'm falling and falling
Just make sure you catch me
I'm only thinking 'bout now
How you make me smile
Oh smile, smile, smile
How you do it
