Lyrics
Wear It Like A Flag
Who put the smile on my face
Somebody sound an alarm
I go to sleep now with one eye open
And dream with one light on
I want to
See if I shouldn't or should
But I can't seem to
Follow the reasons
Or love for my own damn good
Oh,
It's my love and I'll--
Do what I want when I want to with it--
It's my love and I'll
Wear it like a flag
It's my heart
And I'll break it to pieces
Before it breaks me down
Who put the smile on my face
Somebody sound an alarm
I go to sleep now with one eye open
And dream with one light on
Who's sneakin' up from behind
Who's gonna cover my eyes
Who's gonna be
The first one to hear
The scream in my surprise
(Repeat Chorus)
Who put the smile on my face
Somebody sound an alarm
I go to sleep now with one eye open
And dream with one light on
I'm gonna
Call you back later for sure
But I do what I do when I can
I'm gonna love you to death and
If that don't kill you
Wait till I catch my second wind
(Chorus)
Who put the smile on my face
Oh, o-o-o-
Somebody sound an alarm
Oh, o-o-o
Who put the smile on my face...
