You’ve gotta get up every morning
Put a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find,
Yes you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel
Waiting at the station
With the work day wind a-blowing
I’ve got nothing to do
But watch the passers by
Mirrored in their faces
I see frustration growing
And they don’t see a-showing
Why do I?
You’ve gotta get up every morning
Put a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find,
Yes you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel
I have often asked myself
The reason for the sadness
In the world
But tears are just a lullaby
If there’s any answer
May be love kind
And the madness may be not
Oh, but we can only try
You’ve gotta get up every morning
Put a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find,
Oh, yes, you will
That you’re beautiful…
Yes, you’re beautiful…
Yeah, beautiful as you feel!
