| Wake up in the morning before the sun’s up high
|
| Problems from yesterday are still by my side
|
| Oh, but I can’t worry about how much I owe the man
|
| I’ve got to get out of here and do the best I can
|
| I’ve got a reason to smile
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Yes I’ve got you
|
| I’ve got a reason to laugh
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Yes I’ve got you
|
| Stop on my way home to buy something to eat
|
| Prices so high can’t afford to buy meat
|
| Whoa but I know that you would never complain
|
| And that’s why I’m so proud to be your man
|
| I’ve got a reason to smile
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Yes I’ve got you
|
| I’ve got a reason to laugh
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Yes I’ve got you
|
| Sit down with my woman and watch TV tonight
|
| Forget about everything for 10 minutes alright
|
| I want to relax, have a drink, behind a hard a day
|
| And in walks my baby in a thin negligee
|
| I’ve got a reason to smile
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Yes I’ve got you
|
| I’ve got a reason to laugh
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Yes I’ve got you
|
| (Reason)
|
| We might have to give up that old beat-up Cadillac car that we got
|
| (I've got you, babe)
|
| But we don’t have no gas anyway
|
| (Reason)
|
| And the man, he threatens to cut off our lights tonight, honey you know that’s
|
| alright
|
| (I've got you, babe)
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you
|
| I’ve got a reason to laugh
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe
|
| Girl I got a reason to smile
|
| I’ve got you, babe
|
| Whoa yes I do
|
| I got a reason to smile
|
| 'Cause I’ve got you, babe |
