You got moves Go make 'em You got blues You can shake 'em Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on You say you're sick and tired And the world has got you down If you're feeling uninspired Just take a look around Wake up and smell the flowers See the good surrounding you Your mind has got the power To change your point of view You got moves Go make 'em You got blues You can shake 'em Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on You got love Go share it If you grin then you can bear it Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on Forgot your morning coffee You were rushing out the door Stuck in traffic on the highway Can't take it anymore Be thankful for the moment Be glad that you're alive You can choose to drown in sorrow now Or just enjoy the drive, yeah You got moves Go make 'em You got blues You can shake 'em Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on You got love Go share it If you grin then you can bear it Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on You find yourself in trouble And you can't find no way out The rain is never ending No shelter to be found But the storm won't last forever The clouds are gonna fade That's when you remember To take it day by day You got moves Go make 'em You got blues You can shake 'em Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on You got love Go share it If you grin then you can bear it Whatever you do Just be sure to Put a little smile on (Ey hey hey hey) Put a little (Ooo hoo) (Ey hey hey hey) All you gotta do is (Ooo hoo) (Ey hey hey hey hey) Put a little smile on (Ooo hoo) (Ey hey hey hey) 'Said all you gotta do is

Daydream 03:04
Ooo you get me buzzing Like sugar coating on my teeth Feels like I'm always running Cuz without you I'm incomplete You light me up, I'm blinded Tangled in your fragrance and your flair We're seeing colors Lost in the sound We let it sizzle when it all dies down (Ooo hoo) Living for the summer light (Ooh hoo) Loving you has got me in a Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) More than just a fantasy (Ooo hoo hoo) I only want you here with me In our reverie Will it ever be Loving you has got me in a Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) Ooo no need to rush it Or we'll burn out before we peak Under so much pressure When we're together We can find that sweet relief (Ooo hoo) Living for the summer light (Ooh hoo) Loving you has got me in a Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) More than just a fantasy (Ooo hoo hoo) I only want you here with me In our reverie Will it ever be Loving you has got me in a Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) Loving you I've seen the light Everything feels so much brighter When you're here with me Losing sense of time I look around It's just your face I see Cuz loving you has got me in a Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo) More than just a fantasy (Ooo hoo hoo) I only want you here with me In our reverie Will it ever be Loving you has got me in a Daydream, baby Daydream (Ooo hoo hoo hoo)

Getaway 03:30
I've been around the world Seen beaches and dunes Sailed on through the skies And jumped over the moon Touched the bottom of the ocean And didn't feel a thing But the way you pick your nails Like you're digging for gold And how you forget which stories You've already told But you say 'em anyway They never get old to me Don't wanna pack my bag Buy a ticket out to Rome Don't care to get to Paris In comparison it pales to Staying home with you Grab a table for two in the living room Oh cuz the view inside Oh it's such a sight to see We've got high ceiling skies And tapestry trees No desire for vacation You're the only trip that I need Yeah you're the only trip that I need We could take a rocket past The brightest of stars Or make our way out To Venus or Mars But the only space that I want to traverse Is what's keeping you and I so far apart Well I could go exploring In the rings upon your hand Or someplace more exotic We'll take a trip to Candyland And if you beat me to the finish As longs I'm with you I know I'm always winning Don't wanna pack my bag Buy a ticket out to Rome Don't care to get to Paris In comparison it pales to Staying home with you Grab a table for two in the living room Because the view inside Oh it's such a sight to see We've got high ceiling skies And tapestry trees No desire for vacation You're the only trip that I need Yeah, you're the only trip I don't wanna getaway I wanna get closer I don't wanna getaway I wanna get closer I don't want to get away I don't want to get away Ooo-hoo-hoo Don't wanna pack my bag Buy a ticket out to Rome Don't care to get to Paris In comparison it pales To staying home with you We'll grab a table for two in the living room Because the view inside Oh, it sure looks good to me We got you, you, you And you're all I can see No desire for vacation You're the only trip that I need, yeah Said you're the only trip that I need You're the only trip The only trip that I need

Do you feel clueless Do you feel cursed Don't know what's worse You got a feeling You could rehearse But it don't work Off your game Gotta know how to play When you're feeling beat At the end of the day Give it all up But it's still not enough Loosen up Don't take much Just a personal touch Conversation Well it works both ways Gotta give and take With a little bit of patience And listening close (Listening close) You could learn the ropes (You could learn the ropes) Tell me what you want (What you want, oh) Off your game Gotta know how to play When you're feeling beat At the end of the day (End of the day) Give it all up But it's still not enough Loosen up Don't take much Just a personal touch Oh-whoa Oooh Won't you give it to me? Wuh-huh Oh Ooo-huh-uh Off your game Gotta know how to play When you're feeling beat At the end of the day Give it all up But it's still not enough Loosen up Don't take much Just a personal touch Don't take much Just a personal touch Don't take much Just a personal touch
