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!! |
