Every time my baby and I have a quarrel
I swear I won't give in
Then my baby starts to smile at me
And I know, I know I just can't win

When my little girl is smiling
There's nothing more I can say, oh
I see those big bright eyes and then I realize
That girl is goin' to get her way

Oh, let me tell you now, when my little girl is smiling
I can't stay mad at her for long, oh
Why should I want to fight when I can hold her tight?
I just don't care who's right or wrong

Let me tell you now, when my little girl is smiling
It's the greatest thrill there can be, oh
She gets her way, it's true, but I know I won't be blue
As long as she just smiles for me
