This article is about the Lily Allen song. You may be looking for the Charlie Chaplin song.

Smile by Lily Allen is featured in Mattress, the twelfth episode of Season One. It is sung by Finn and Rachel.

They sing this song, while preparing for the New DirectionsThunderclap photo. Rachel is teasing Finn and grabbing his sheet music, making jokes to teach Finn how to smile for their photo, which will include the two of them since they are the newly appointed co-captains of the Glee Club. Brad who plays the piano in the background, is shown enjoying the song.

Lyrics[]

Rachel (Finn):
When you first left me
I was wanting more
You were kissing that girl next door
What you do that for? (What you do that for?)
When you first left me

Rachel (with Finn):
(I didn't know what to say)
I never been on my (own that way)
Just sat by my(self all day)

Rachel (Finn):
(Oh!) I was so lost back then
(Oh!) But with a little help from my friends
(Oh!) I found a light in the tunnel at the end (Oh!)
(Oh!) Now you're calling me up on the phone
(Oh!) So you can have a little whine and a moan
(Oh!) And it's only because you're feeling alone (Oh!)

Rachel (and Finn):
At first, (when I see you cry)
(Yeah it makes me smile)
(Yeah makes me smile)
At worst, (I feel bad for awhile)
(But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile)

Rachel (Finn):
Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back (Want me back)
But I tell you it don't mean jack (Don't mean jack)
No it don't mean jack (It don't mean jack)
I couldn't stop laughing
No I just couldn't help myself (Heeeelp myself)

Rachel (with Finn):
See, you messed up my (mental health)
(I was quite unwell)

Rachel (Finn):
(Oh!) I was so lost back then
(Oh!) But with a little help from my friends
(Oh!) I found a light in the tunnel at the end (Oh!)
(Oh!) Now you're calling me up on the phone
(Oh!) So you can have a little whine and a moan
(Oh!) And it's only because you're feeling alone (Oh!)

Rachel (and Finn):
At first, (when I see you cry)
(Yeah it makes me smile)
(Yeah makes me smile)
At worst, (I feel bad for awhile)
(But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile)

Rachel with Finn:
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la-la-laaa..

Rachel (Finn):
At first, when I see you cry (See you cry)
Yeah it makes me smile (Makes me smile)
Yeah makes me smile (Makes me smile)
At worst, I feel bad for awhile (Feel bad for awhile)
But then I just smile (But then I just smile)
I go ahead and smile (Go ahead and smile)

(La la la la la la) At first, when I see you cry (See you cry)
(La la la la la la) Yeah it makes me smile (Makes me smile)
(La la la la la la) Yeah makes me smile (Yeah makes me smile)
(Ahhhh, aahhh) At worst, I feel bad for awhile (Bad for awhile)
(Ahhhh) But then I just smile (Smile)
(Ahhhh) I go ahead and smile (Go ahead and smile)
