Mr. Smiley Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember how it used to be
And all the things you said to me
You always taught me right from wrong
(Wrong from right, right from wrong)
'Til you went on a killing spree
And killed your family
Why is this the way things have to be?
Tell me

[Chorus]
Oh Mr. Smiley, how could it be true
The things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it, what has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through
Digging through facts, believing in you
Oh, Mr. Smiley, come give me a clue
Why they said it was you
I can't accept it, tell me it's not true
'Cause you were once so good to me
Oh, Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be

[Verse 2]
You always had a smile on your face (So big)
I never thought you'd be a criminal case
'Til I saw your face on my TV
Was it just for entertainment?
'Cause now you face solitary confinement (In jail)
Why is this the way things have to be? Tell me

[Chorus]
Oh Mr. Smiley, how could it be true
The things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it, what has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through
Digging through facts, believing in you
Oh, Mr. Smiley, come give me a clue
Why they said it was you
I can't accept it, tell me it's not true
'Cause you were once so good to me
Oh, Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be

[Outro]
Oh, Mr. Smiley
What has happened to you?
Oh, Mr. Smiley
What has happened to you?
Tell me it's not true
