Written by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy
Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling
I know sometimes your whole world seems blue
Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you
But remember when you hang your head, its hard to see the sun
There's a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come
But you've got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah
(Keep smiling) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(Keep smiling) Ooh, ha (Don't you ever stop smiling)
Oh, don't you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you've got to keep on stepping on
You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life
You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice
Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own
Once you think you've got everything, the next day its all gone
But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)
Oh I know its hard, I know its hard, but you've to keep (keep smiling), oh---
(Don't you ever stop smiling) yeah, yeah---, oh-----, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---
Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, (keep smiling) keep a grin on your face yaul
Keep on stepping now, (keep smiling) oh, keep your head up to the sky
(Keep smiling) Oh-got to notice on the tip of your eyes, (Keep smiling)
You've got to keep on, keep on, keep on, (Keep smiling)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, (Keep smiling), Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha---
(Keep smiling) oh--keep on (don't you ever stop smiling) Smile, smile---
(Keep smiling)
Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling
I know sometimes your whole world seems blue
Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you
But remember when you hang your head, its hard to see the sun
There's a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come
But you've got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah
(Keep smiling) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(Keep smiling) Ooh, ha (Don't you ever stop smiling)
Oh, don't you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you've got to keep on stepping on
You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life
You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice
Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own
Once you think you've got everything, the next day its all gone
But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)
Oh I know its hard, I know its hard, but you've to keep (keep smiling), oh---
