Lyrics Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

Be Thankful

You may be in a big city or drivin' down a country lane, yeah

Workin' two jobs to make a livin'

And all you do is complain, well

You should be thankful of what you got

Yes, you should be thankful of all you got

Wakin' up in the mornin', seein' the sun rise

(Well, well)

Is enough to say, "I thank you, Lord"

Rollin' over, seein' my baby's eyes, uh

Is enough to say, "I thank you, Lord"

I just wanna say thank you

(Thank you)

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord

(Thank you)

(Thank you)

Thank you

(Thank you)

Thank you

(Thank you)

Thank you, Lord

Be thankful of what you got

(You know you should)

Be thankful of all you got

You may live in the valley, you may live on the highest hill

Some people say, you don't do nothin' but take the doctor's pills

You may be in a nursery, in a classroom

Drivin' your big fine car, hup

Airplanes, uh, take you, uh far

Layin' out in the sun, uh, or just workin' on the run

Hoo, you should be thankful of what you got

I know you should be thankful, oh, yeah, of all you got

(Well, well)

Yeah, ooh, oh

(Be thankful)

We need to be thankful of what you got

Of everything we got

(Be thankful)

We need to be more thankful

(Of all you got)

Of everything you got

(Be thankful)

Thank you, thank you, thank you

(Of all you got)

Thank you for all I got

(Be thankful)

Thank you
