	/ / / /

Verse 1:

	[2:/]    /
	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 going to break, yeah yeah yeah

Chorus 1:

	
	Smiling phases, showing traces
	
	Even when they bust you
	                              
	Keep on smiling through and through
	                                   
	You'll be amazed at the gaze on their faces
	               
	As they sentence you

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

	You don't need a lawyer
	When you're in a fix
	Someone gets the payoff
	You're friends are full of tricks
	Happiness is something
	That you just can't find
	Own up to the truth girl
	You're living with your mind

Chorus 2:

	Sugar daddy brings you flowers
	You just hang him up and
	Keep him waiting there for hours
	And you should see the look on his face
	As you slide down the rail

Coda:
