Lighten Up

You look like death on vacation, would it kill you to smile once in a while Looking happy could be a good thing --- more girls, for sure, it would bring But the smile has to have warmth; it can't be fake, can't be forced Nobody likes to be around someone looking down in the dumps You got to lighten up, you gotta raise a cheerful cup You got to let your hair down, can't always be wearing a frown You got to lighten up, let the sun shine in Don't always have a dark cloud hanging over you, following ... If you're looking like death three weeks warmed over Then you need a spiritual four-leaf clover Once you lighten up, everything won't feel like it suck Watch how it will change your luck, transform your life, until you can't get enough of happiness and such If this is what you want, then I insist you lighten up Quit looking so down, see all these bright clouds floating around Lighten up and rise, feel the love that everywhere abounds
