Blood Sweat Tears Smiling Phases Lyrics

Smiling Phases Lyrics

(Steve Winwood, James Capaldi, Chris Wood) 



(These lyrics are as BS&T performed the song, original lyrics differ
slightly) 







Do yourself a favor, 



Wake up to your mind 



Life is what you make it 



You see, but still you're blind 







Get yourself together, 



Give before you take 



You'll find out the hard way, 



Soon you're gonna break 



Hey hey hey 







Smiling phases 



Showing traces 



Even if they bust you 



Keep on smiling through and through 



And you'll be amazed at the gaze 



On their faces as they sentence you 







You don't need a lawyer 



When you're in a fix 



Someone gets to pay up 



Your friends are full of tricks 



But happiness is something 



That you just can't buy 



Own up to the truth girl, 



Your love has gone on by 







Smiling Phases bring you flowers 



You can line 'em up 



And you can watch 'em grow for hours 



And you'll be amazed at the way that they stare 



as they walk by your door. 











Do yourself a favor, 



Wake up to your mind 



Life is what you make it 



You see, but still you're blind 







Get yourself together, 



Give before you take 



You'll find out the hard way, 



Soon you're gonna break 



Hey hey hey 







Smiling phases 



Going Places 



Even if they bust you 



Keep on smiling through and through 



And you'll be amazed at the gaze 



On their faces as they sentence...you!!
