Positive People
I really like positive people
I like to keep them around
They always have such good things to say
Wearing a smile, not a frown
Negative people upset my day
I try to keep them away
When they start talking negative things
Won’t listen to what they say
My wife has a cousin who is blind
But she just never gets down
She always wants to make you feel good
She’s fun to just be around
First meeting with someone I don’t know
It doesn’t take too long
If what they say is too negative
Before you know it I’m gone
Just like, I won’t go to a movie
Knowing the ending is sad
Makes no sense to pay someone money
To see what makes me feel bad
Maybe I should take off the blinders
Life is full of ups and downs
But I’m here to tell you, I won’t change
I don’t like wearing a frown
