Thankful For What I Got

Barbara Lewis

I'm thankful for what I've got 
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead 
I'm thankful for what I've got 
She's got herself a real life better 
She's got herself a real life better 

I ain't got enough time 
To spend alone & feelin' sad 
I ain't got nobody to aim for 
But that's somethin' that don't really matter 

I'm thankful for what I've got 
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead 
I'm thankful for what I've got 
I've got myself a real life better 
She's got herself a real life better 

There just ain't enough hours in one day 
To sit & watch all my dreams come true 
Every day is a sunshine day 
I've got because I'm happy, not because I worry 
& that is something I can surely be proud of 
Now I've found how I've grown 
All I really want in life for me 
& it's not a dream, a dream come true 
I've got the one I want & I've got the one I need 
& I couldn't be more happy now, I really really mean it 

(instrumental & background scat singing) 
(She's got herself a real life better 
She's got herself a real life better) 


I'm thankful for what I've got 
Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead 
I'm thankful for what I've got 
I've got myself a real life better 
She's got herself a real life better 
I've got myself a real life better 
She's got herself a real life better 
Oh yeah...& fade
