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!!
