Give A Smile

(álbum: Betty Wright - 1981)

When you're down, and you feel you can't make it
And trouble's found everywhere
And your mind just won't let you fake it
Get a hold of yourself, take care

Just give a smile, dance awhile, give a smile
Baby, baby, baby, give a smile, ooh baby

There are times good and bad, in between
When nothing seems to matter at all
But it's nice when you float on a dream
Get on down, do your thing, have a ball

Just give a smile, dance awhile, give a smile
Baby, baby, baby, give a smile, ooh baby

You've got to give it, give it to me, boy, it's alright
Said you're kind, you're fine, you're mine
And you're giving it to me, boy, it's alright
If you're here, if you're there, anywhere
Don't get caught with your head hanging down
'Cause it's nice when you give a smile
Get on up, shake your legs, move around

Just give a smile, dance awhile, give a smile
Baby, baby, baby, give a smile, ooh baby

You've got to give it, give it to me, child, it's alright
Said you're kind, you're fine, you're mine
And you're giving it to me, boy, it's alright...

You've got to give it (you know you've got to give it), oh yeah
You've got to give a smile (you've got to give it)
(You've got to give it, you know you've got to give a smile)
Ya gotta give a smile, baby (you've got to give it)
Don't get caught with your head hanging down
(You've got to give it, you know you've got to give a smile)
Get on up and move around
Just give a smile, baby (you've got to give it)
(You've got to give it, you know you've got to give a smile)
Smile and the world smiles with you (you've got to give it)
That's all you've gotta do, yeah
(You've got to give it, you know you've got to give a smile)
(You've got to give it, you know you've got to give it) a smile...

(You've got to give it) a smile
(You know you've got to give a smile) a smile
(You've got to give it) a smile
(You know you've got to give it) give a smile...
(You've got to give it)
(You know you've got to give a smile)
(You've got to give it)
(You know you've got to give it) ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(You've got to give it) oh, you know you've got to
(You know you've got to give a smile)
(You've got to give it) give a smile, baby, oh yeah
(You know you've got to give it)
(You've got to give it) a smile, just a little while
(You know you've got to give a smile)
(You've got to give it) oh, you know it's good when you smile
(You've got to give it) it won't hurt when you smile...
(You've got to give it) smile...
