|
Do yourself a favor,
|
Wake up to your mind
|
Life is what you make it
|
You see, but still you're blind
|
|
Get yourself together,
|
Give before you take
|
You'll find out the hard way,
|
Soon you're gonna break
|
Hey hey hey
|
|
Smiling phases
|
Showing traces
|
Even if they bust you
|
Keep on smiling through and through
|
And you'll be amazed at the gaze
|
On their faces as they sentence you
|
|
You don't need a lawyer
|
When you're in a fix
|
Someone gets to pay up
|
Your friends are full of tricks
|
But happiness is something
|
That you just can't buy
|
Own up to the truth girl,
|
Your love has gone on by
|
|
Smiling Phases bring you flowers
|
You can line 'em up
|
And you can watch 'em grow for hours
|
And you'll be amazed at the way that they stare
|
as they walk by your door.
|
|
|
Do yourself a favor,
|
Wake up to your mind
|
Life is what you make it
|
You see, but still you're blind
|
|
Get yourself together,
|
Give before you take
|
You'll find out the hard way,
|
Soon you're gonna break
|
Hey hey hey
|
|
Smiling phases
|
Going Places
|
Even if they bust you
|
Keep on smiling through and through
|
And you'll be amazed at the gaze
|
On their faces as they sentence...you!!
