Lyrics
Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah
I'll bet you know some folks who need your smile today
Maybe just to show them things will be okay
Along with your smile and gentle word of praise
You can offer them more than any words can say
Throw your arms around their shoulder blades
Why not give 'em a hug (give 'em a hug)
A smiling face, a warm embrace
Why not give 'em a hug (give 'em a hug)
Just in case, no time to waste
Why not give 'em a hug (give 'em a hug)
Why not give 'em a hug
Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah
I know you'll find many more searching for ways
To learn how to live the rest of their days
Along with your touch and some reason to stay
You can offer them more than they had yesterday
Reach out with your heart in various ways
Chest to Chest, heart to heart
Neck and neck, like it or not
Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah
I'll bet you know some folks who need your love today
Why not let them know you're on your way
Along with your smile and gentle word of praise
You can offer them more than any cash can pay
Throw your arms around their shoulder blades
