I've Got a Reason to Smile - Eddie Floyd

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
