  • You know that I'm a crazy bitch
    I do what I want when I feel like it
    All I wanna do is lose control (oh, oh)
    But you don't really give a shit
    You go with it, go with it, go with it
    'Cause you're fucking crazy rock n' roll

    You said hey
    What's your name
    It took one look
    And now I'm not the same
    Yeah you said hey
    And since that day
    You stole my heart
    And you're the one to blame

    Yeah, and that's why I smile
    It's been a while
    Since every day and everything has
    Felt this right
    And now you turn it all around
    And suddenly you're all I need

    The reason why
    I, I, I, I smile, oh oh oh

    Last night I blacked out I think
    What did you, what did you put in my drink
    I remember making out and then (oh, oh)
    I woke up with a new tattoo
    Your name was on me and my name was on you
    I would do it all over again

    You said hey (hey)
    What's your name (what's your name)
    It took one look
    And now I'm not the same
    Yeah you said hey (hey)
    Since that day (since that day)
    You stole my heart
    And you're the one to blame

    Yeah, and that's why I smile
    It's been a while
    Since every day and everything has
    Felt this right
    And now you turn it all around
    And suddenly you're all I need

    The reason why
    I, I, I, I smile, oh oh oh
    The reason why
    I, I, I, I smile, oh oh oh

    You know that I'm a crazy bitch
    I do what I want when I feel like it
    All I wanna do is lose control
    You know that I'm a crazy bitch
    I do what I want when I feel like it
    All I wanna do is lose control

    Yeah, and that's why I smile
    It's been a while
    Since every day and everything has
    Felt this right
    And now you turn it all around
    And suddenly you're all I need

    The reason why
    I, I, I, I smile, oh oh oh
    The reason, the reason why
    I, I, I, I smile, oh oh oh

    The reason why
    I, I, I, I smile, oh oh oh Writer/s: Avril Lavigne, Johan Karl Schuster, Max Martin

  • Yasmin from Zichron, IsraelI think it's quite obvious she wrote it about Deryck. There's a lot of pictures of them drinking and partying. and Everyone knows she has a tattoo of a D in a heart on her arm, and he has an A "your name was on me and my name was on you". We can say that Deryck is kind of a rocker, for the line 'f--king crazy rock N' roll", but Brody isn't even involved with music, so it fits Deryck more. In the song, maybe it's just me, but she says "blacked out" and "you're the one to blame", and as I see it, it's Sum 41's songs name, Black Out and We're All to Blame. if all of that isn't a proof for Smile being about Deryck... than I don't know anything.
