When My Little Girl Is Smiling

Every time my baby and I have a quarrel

I swear I won't give in

Then my baby starts to smile at me

And I know, I know I just can't win

When my little girl is smiling

There's nothing more I can say, oh

I see those big bright eyes and then I realize

That girl is goin' to get her way

Oh, let me tell you now, when my little girl is smiling

I can't stay mad at her for long, oh

Why should I want to fight when I can hold her tight?

I just don't care who's right or wrong

Let me tell you now, when my little girl is smiling

It's the greatest thrill there can be, oh

She gets her way, it's true, but I know I won't be blue

As long as she just smiles for me
