You look so gloomy my friend
Put a smile on your face
Don't let him get you down
You're only making a mistake

Love can be bad as it seems
Love can be happy but sad
Lift up your head let your heart be mended
From troubles, heartaches, and pain

Don't let him get you down
(Don't let him get you down)
No it's not worth it
(Don't let him get you down)
So long my friend
(Don't let him get you down)
So then you will see
(Don't let him get you down)

Another love will take its place
And put a smile upon your face
And ease your pains and your troubles too
And make a new light right for you

Don't let him get you down
(Don't let him get you down)
No baby, baby, baby, baby
(Don't let him get you down)
Bye my dear
(Don't let him get you down)
Ooh yeah
(Don't let him get you down)
Ooh

Teardrops falling from your eyes (tears, tears, tears)
There's no need for you to cry
Love's here today and gone tomorrow
So dry your eyes and forget your sorrows

Don't let him get you down
(Don't let him get you down)
Put a smile, smile, smile on your face
(Don't let him get you down)
Cause when you're smiling
(Don't let him get you down)
Oh the love comes shining through
(Don't let him get you down)
Don't let him get you down
(Don't let him get you down)
No it's not worth it baby
(Don't let him get you down)
So long my friend
(Don't let him get you down)
Ooh yeah
(Don't let him get you down)
Don't let him get you down
(Don't let him get you down)
Ooh put a smile, smile, smile on your face
(Don't let him get you down)
Cause when you're smiling
(Don't let him get you down)
Oh, oh the love comes shining through
(Don't let him get you down)
Yeah my dear
(Don't let him get you down)
Ooh yeah ooh
(Don't let him get you down)
Ooh
(Don't let him get you down)
