LYRICS: Maverick City Music & Kirk Franklin – I Smile – Feat. Lizzie Morgan
If you love Jesus, make some noise
If you know Jesus loves you, make some noise
And you know because Jesus loves you
Fellas, you know what we can do, you know what we can do, right?
(We came) I smile
Even though I hurt, see, I smile
(Come on) I know God is working, so I smile
(Even though) Even though I’ve been here for a while
(I smile) I smile (Come on and sang)
Smile (It’s so hard)
So hard to look up when you been down (Sure would hate)
Sure would hate to see you give up now (You look so)
You look so much better when you smile
(Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute)
(Break it up, break it up, break it up, break it, breakin’ it up) So smile
Now, I’m not hearing everybody singin’
I said, I’m not hearing everybody singin’
I don’t care if ain’t got only but one tooth, you still can smile
I want you to look at your brother next to you and say
“Bro, God been too good to you bro”
“You need to smile bro”
“Even if those are not your teeth, bro”
“You can still smile, homie”
I wanna see everybody, hands up in air, clap up in the air
Everybody, clap up in the air
Come on, come on, come on
Now I want you to “Oh, oh-oh” Say it, say it
Oh, oh, oh
You look so much better when you
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you (Come on)
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you (Come on)
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you (Come on)
Oh, oh, oh (Hands up)
You look so much better when you (Hands up)
Oh, oh, oh (Yeah)
You look so much better when you
(Aye) Oh, oh, oh (Uh-huh)
You look so much better when you (I’m gonna need you to play it when they stop)
Oh, oh, oh (Break it up, break it up)
You look so much better when you (Break it up, break it up)
(Break it up, break it up, break it up) Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I wanna pluck out some homies out here who can dance
I wanna know if we can dance a little bit
I said, I wanna know if we can dance a little bit
I said, can we dance a little bit?
Okay, so we gon’ do a little two-step
We gon’ do a little two-step, we gon’ do this like this
We gon’ do, we gon’ do it
Come on, everybody
Aye, a little two-step
Aye, aye, come on, and a little two-step (And a little two-step)
Aw, I got somebody from, come on, come on, come on
My Caucasian brother, bring it in (And a little two-step, aye)
(Aye, aye) Let’s go, let’s go
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you (Come on)
Oh, oh, oh (Sang)
You look so much better when you
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you (Say it again, say it again)
Oh, oh, oh
You look so much better when you (Come on)
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you
Oh, oh, oh (Come on)
You look so much better when you
Oh, oh, oh (One)
(Two, three, now) You look so much better when you smile
