Live introduction: So this next tune is one of my favorite ones to do. We've done it pretty much everywhere we go but tonight is extra special because the songwriter is in the house. This tune was written by a very dear friend of mine, Bill Contess(sp?), and he's right there. I'll try not to mess up the words. Here we go. You don't have to wear a careless pout Whisper low or scream and shout If you really want to knock me out You just have to give me that smile You don't have to buy me French perfume Play the socialite and work the room If you want to make my heart go zoom You just have to give me that smile Oh the one that makes my day now It takes my breath away now Well, I truly have to say now You're the one You're the one You're the one You don't have to wear designer clothes Strike an apathetic model pose Boy the secret's right under your nose You just have to give me that smile You just have to give me that smile You've don't have to write a chaunsonette Act out Romeo and Juliet You don't have to work that hard my pet You just have to give me that smile You don't have to set a table for two Like Martha Stewart taught you how to do If you want to turn my gray sky blue You just have to give me that smile Oh it melts my apprehension It gets my full attention One more time I'd like to mention You're the one You're the one You're the one You don't have to catch a falling star Or paint "I love you" on the hood of my car You can get me wherever we are You just have to give me that smile You just have to give me that smile You just have to Come on and give me Ah gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme that that that that smile smile smile that that that smile smile (scat) gimme that that that that that smile
