Lyrics:

Smile Baby

I see your eyes looking over my shoulder
Looking at the wall or who knows what
I’m doing my best to get your attention
But it looks like I ain’t doing enough

I know your work week has been long, long, long.
Baby you and I are free tonight
Let’s find a way to shake off your blues
Put your hand in mine, it’ll be alright

CHORUS:
Smile, baby and hold my hand
Smile, baby and hold my hand
Smile, baby and hold my hand
We’ve got plans for the rest of the night.

Roll down the window as we roll down the highway
Let down your hair, your long black hair
Diner or dancing or sweet romancing
You name it girl and we’re already there.

Smile, baby and hold my hand
Smile, baby and hold my hand
Smile, baby and hold my hand
We’ve got plans for the rest of the night.

Right now they’re throwing saw dust on the floor
Pulling the chain on the neon lights
Break open a bottle and we’ll break into a smile
I think the world owes us just one night.

Smile, baby and hold my hand
Smile, baby and hold my hand
Smile, baby and hold my hand
We’ve got plans for the rest of the night.
