I'll Keep On Smiling

ARETHA FRANKLIN

I'm gonna smile and take it, baby
Until I get tired of you
When I've had enough of this business
You'll be the first one to know we're through

(O oh) I'm turning over a brand new leaf
(O oh) Now you're gonna see
A smile on my face
(O oh) Doesn't matter to get into something
And you're not even in the race

I'll keep on smiling
'Cause what good does it do
To try to explain to an unconcerned lover
That he's mistreating you

(Do it) You think it's great to
Have whole lot of chicks
(Ah, do it) So show me the one that
Can teach an old dog new tricks
(Do it) I, I'll keep right on smiling

I'll keep on smiling
Although you hurt my pride
'Cause I wanna be the first one to see you
When all of those chicks toss you aside, yeah
(Do it) Now
They say a man just ain't supposed to cry
(Ah, do it) But I'm gonna watch you show
The world that crying was a lie

I, and just for now
I'm gonna keep on smiling, yeah
You know you've hurt me
But I'm gonna keep on smiling
You've done me real dirty
But I'm gonna keep on smiling
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on smiling
Looking straight ahead, just smiling
