I want to be Happy Lyrics

I'm a very ordinary man

 

Trying to work out life's happy plan

 

Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me

 

When I find a very lonely soul

 

Soon be-kinda-comes my only goal

 

I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophy

I want to be happy

 

But I won't be happy

 

Till I make you happy too

 

Life's really worth living

 

When we are mirth giving

Why can't I give some to you

 

When skies are gray and you say you are blue

 

I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy

 

But I won't be happy

 

Till I make you happy too

 

When skies are gray and you say you are blue

 

I'll send the sun smiling through

 

I want to be happy

 

But I won't be happy

 

 

Till I make you happy too
