When My Little Girl Is Smiling
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): The Drifters



Ev'ry 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
I see those big bright eyes
and then I realize
that girl is gonna get her way

When My Little Girl Is Smiling
I can't stay mad at her for long
Why should I want to fight
when I can hold her tight?
I just don't care who's right or wrong

When My Little Girl Is Smiling
it's the greatest thrill there can be
She gets her way it's true
but I know I won't be blue
as long as she just smiles for me
