Happy lives all around the world
Inside of every boy and girl, yeah
Dollar bills and golden pearls
Ain't never been his style
And Happy's always by your side Never not willing to provide
But if you abuse him for the night He don't show for a while
Well,
Happy don't have lies to tell He
doesn't want nothing from no one else
And he never does concern himself with Who's right or wrong
Happy don't like alcohol Bitterness or cruel at all
But when he hears love sing through the wall Well,
Happy sings along
My old friend,
where has the time gone?
We were thick as thieves until hate came along
And what a mess we've gotten into Hey,
Happy,
why can't everybody just be you?
Well,
Happy sits there patiently In line behind jealousy
Waiting on a humble epiphany That your grass might be greener
And Happy's never liked the view Of I ain't good enough avenue
Cause you can bet if you don't like you You don't like Happy neither
Oh, yeah
My old friend,
where has the time gone?
We were thick as thieves until hate came along
And what a mess we've gotten into
Hey, Happy, why can't everybody just be you?
Well,
these days Happy spends his time
Beating on the door of most folks' minds
Knowing he's about to hit his finish line If we don't let him in
But that ain't up to him, no
My old friend,
where has the time gone?
We were thick as thieves until hate came along
And what a mess we've gotten into
Hey, Happy, why can't everybody just be you?
Why can't everybody just be you?
Why can't everybody just be you?
