Smokey Robinson - Be Thankful For What You've Got Lyrics

Smokey Robinson Lyrics

"Be Thankful For What You've Got"
(originally by William DeVaughn)

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

Just be thankful, yeah for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

Just be thankful for everything you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Well, well, well, well, well, well

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene with a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene with a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah, diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene with a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

I said, diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
