Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

I'll Keep On Smiling

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

I’m turning over a brand new leaf

Now you’re gonna see a smile on my face

Get let it 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

You think it’s great to have whole lot of chicks

So show me the one that can teach an old dog new tricks

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 cause you sad, yeah

Now, they say a man just ain’t supposed to cry

But I’m gonna want to show the world that cries out some lie

I, and just for now

I’m gonna keep on smiling, yeah

You know you hurt me, but I’m gonna keep on smiling

You’ve done me real heartache, but I’m gonna keep on smiling

Yeah, I’m gonna keep on smiling

Looking straight ahead and smiling
