[Spoken Intro]
Oh, baby, yeah, girl
You always make me feel so good inside
[Verse 1]
What about you and me?
We were supposed to play for keeps
Home grown from the streets
The jungle in our reach
[Verse 2]
It ain’t about bein’ a hood
When you touch me like you should
I’ll rule every day
You let me in your world
[Pre-Chorus]
You see through all these years, our love remains
The moon will never let the tide go away
[Chorus]
Through the pleasure and pain
Through the sunshine and rain
Baby, we keep on smilin’
Through the laughter and tears
And all of the years
Baby, we keep on smilin’
Everybody says the same
Baby, keep smilin’, smilin’ for me
Come on now
Baby, keep smilin’, keep on smilin’
[Verse 3]
Headin’ out to the beach
Try to claim a few rays
Jump in the back seat
We’re gonna taste the grape
Red and white they both go
We’re cruisin’ the way
[Breakdown]
That’s right, baby girl
And no matter how hard things might get
You can always count on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey
You see through all these years, our love remains
The moon will never let the tide go away
[Outro]
Through the pleasure and pain
Through the sunshine and rain
Baby, we keep on smilin’
Through the laughter and tears
And all of the years
Baby, we keep on smilin’
Everybody says the same
Baby, keep smilin’, smilin’ for me
Come on now
Baby, keep smilin’, keep on smilin’
Oh, baby, yeah, girl
You always make me feel so good inside
[Verse 1]
What about you and me?
We were supposed to play for keeps
Home grown from the streets
The jungle in our reach
[Verse 2]
It ain’t about bein’ a hood
When you touch me like you should
I’ll rule every day
You let me in your world
[Pre-Chorus]
You see through all these years, our love remains
The moon will never let the tide go away
[Chorus]
Through the pleasure and pain
Through the sunshine and rain
Baby, we keep on smilin’
Through the laughter and tears
And all of the years
Baby, we keep on smilin’
Everybody says the same
Baby, keep smilin’, smilin’ for me
Come on now
Baby, keep smilin’, keep on smilin’

Come on now
Baby, keep smilin’, keep on smilin’
