AVRIL LAVIGNE Steps In A Heaping Pile of SMILE

SMILE, the second single from AVRIL LAVIGNE's new album Goodbye Lullaby, debuted today with a playful video directed by Shane Drake (Paramore's "Decode" "Pressure" "crushcrushcrush" & "Misery Business"; New Years Day "I Was Right", Panic! at the Disco "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", Shwayze "Corona & Lime" The Rocket Summer "So Much Love").

In the video, Av Lav spray-paints her set florescent pink and green (a visual accouterment to the streaks in her hair) before she navs a symbolic quest in black and white for the red chards of a broken heart...

Wade a while in a pile of Behind-The-Smile:

An acoustic SMILE recorded for T4, a daytime TV show in the UK:

AVRIL LAVIGNE
SMILE
You know that I'm a crazy bitch,
I do what I want when I feel like it,
All I wanna do is loose control,
But you don't really give a shit,
You go with go with 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 everyday 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 smi-I-ile.

Last night I blacked out I think,
What did you what did you put in my drink?
I remember making out and then,
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,
What's your name,
It took one look,
And now i'm not the same,
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 everyday 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 smi-I-ile.

You know that I'm a crazy bitch,
I do what I want , when I feel like it
All I wanna do is loose control,
You know that I'm a crazy bitch,
I do what I want , when I feel like it
All I wanna do is loose control-o-ol.

And that's why... I smile,
It's been a while,
Since everyday 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 smi-I-ile,
The reason,
The reason why-I-I-I,
I smi-I-ile,
The reason why-I-I-I,
I smi-I-ile
