Why can't you see that I love you, girl
Well, I'm singing my love in the words of a song
Taking your chance is the way of the world
Just be for real or leave it alone

Come on, smile, just for a while
Think of all the beautiful things
Two people in love can be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Think it about, hey
(You've got to think)
Think of what I'm saying
You've got to get your mind together, whoa...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I know you feel there can be no tomorrow
I'm giving my love hard as I can
There ain't no reason to drown in your sorrow
I wasn't there, but I sure understand

Come on, smile, just for a while
Think of all the beautiful things
Two people in love can be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Think it about
(You've got to think)

Smile, girl, uh-huh, caress your style
I really love you, baby, need you, baby, well
