JONATHAN:
It's not you, she says
It's just that life's so hard
We all get through, I say
Hang on tight
I'll be your bodyguard
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Oh, oh, I just wanna see her smile
It's such a drag, she says
When the world's so mean
It's just a red flag, I say
Gotta look for the green
Oh, oh, oh
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Oh, oh, I just wanna see her smile
Cynical town can be tough on an angel
Clip her wings baby, one, two, three
I'm her clown cause I laugh at
Angels richer than kings
Oh, baby, don't you see?
Baby, don't you agree?
Wish I knew why, she says
But on a sunny day, I find the rain
Let's give it a try, I say
We can dance all through the pain
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Something's breakin' my baby's heart
Oh, oh
Oh,oh
Oh,oh
Ooooh, oh, oh
I just wanna see her smile
I just wanna see her smile
I just wanna see her smile
I just wanna see her
Just wanna see her...smile

I've always loved this song. Shame it wasn't in the movie, but I can understand why. Great song, but in context of the show it's kind of a lull.

I’ve listened to See Her Smile whenever my day goes south. The song, the lyrics, and Raúl’s voice help a lot.

Listening to the whole tick tick boom soundtrack after watching the movie and I miss this song!!! The only downside of the movie for me was removal of this song 😢😢😢
