[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Smiling phases, going places
And if they bust you, you just
Keep on smiling through and through
And you'll be amazed at the gaze
On their faces as they sentence you

[Verse 2]
You don't need a lawyer
When you're in a fix
Someone got to pay up
Your friends are full of tricks
Profit you love is something
That you just can't buy
Own up to the truth, girl
Your love has gone on by
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
Smiling phases, going places
And if they bust you, you just
Keep on smiling through and through
And you'll be amazed at the gaze
On their faces as they sentence you
