Aretha Franklin — Ill Keep On Smiling

[Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] (Ooh) I'm turning over a brand new leaf (Ooh) Now you're gonna see a smile on my face (Ooh) Doesn't matter to get into something And you're not even in the race [Verse 2] I'll keep on smiling 'Cause what good does it do To try to explain to an unconcerned lover That he's mistreating you [Bridge] (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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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
