Happiness [repeat x3]
[Verse 1:]
I don't believe what I'm hearing
You can't impress me by words
You show me
Don't think I'm going through changes
Boy, you might see me change for the last time
Having a bad day
Better deal with it
If you're playing games
No time for it
If you're bringing pain
Gonna run from it
Don't mess up my day
I'm the only one
Whose responsible
For me having fun
And you can't take my
[Chorus:]
Happiness
Is what my life's about
Happiness
No, I can't do without
Happiness
Nothing can stop me now
Through ups and downs
I'm still happy
[Verse 2:]
Life is as good as I make it
I can't sit around while you make it for me
I like those jewels that you gave me
But I wanna buy some jewels for myself
To lose the ball and chain
Gotta reach for it
To realize my dreams
Gotta reach for it
Nothing comes for free
Gotta reach for it
I'm not gonna have to depend on you
I'm the only one
Whose responsible
For me having fun
And you can't take my
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
I'm the only one
Whose responsible
For me having fun
And you can't take my
[Repeat Chorus x2:]
