You really should accept
This time, he's gone for good
He'll never come back now
Even though he said, he would

So, darling, dry your eyes
So many other guys
Would give the world I'm sure
To wear the shoes he wore

Oh, c'mon smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
What's the use in cryin'?
In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie
You must keep on tryin'

I know that he hurt you bad
I know, darling, don't be sad
And smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
Rosemarie

I guess, you're lonely now
Love's comin' to an end
But, darling, only now
Are you free to start again?

Lift up your pretty chin
Don't let those tears begin
You're a big girl now
And you'll pull through somehow

Oh, c'mon smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
What's the use in cryin'?
In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie
You must keep on tryin'

I know that he hurt you bad
I know, darling, don't be sad
And smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
Rosemarie

Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
Rosemarie
