I'd Rather Be Happy Than Right

So

Let me tell you about marriage now

Well I says this and she says that

I say white and she says black

We're carrying on like a dog and a cat

And staying up half of the night

Well you can pick your battles and you might even win

But one thing I've learned time and time again

Comprimising ain't neccesarily giving in

And I'd rather be happy than right

She wants to paint the house

You better just go along

You'll get used to that color Suck it up

Move on

That opinion you have

Yeah probably wrong

No need to get all uptight

Well I'm either getting older or wiser or lazy

You can call me whipped

And yeah

Well maybe

But I'm still a man and call me crazy

I'd rather be happy than right

Well you can't live without 'em

Can't live with 'em

It's a mighty fragile ecosystem

It really ain't all that hard a decision

Just let them sleeping dogs lie

Well

Happy wife

Happy life

And if I wanna be happy later on tonight

I think I'll let her think she's won the fight

Cuz I'd rather be happy than right

Well the one thing I've learned bout this marriage thing

Is the key to success is in the editing

Before you say something stupid

Stop and think

You may wanna zip it up tight

When it's all said and done I really do love her

I Just bite my lip round her sister and her mother

I might be thinking one thing

But I'll say another cuz I'd rather be happy than right

Well you can't live without 'em

Can't live with 'em

It's a mighty fragile ecosystem

It really ain't all that hard a decision

Just let them sleeping dogs lie

Well

Happy wife

Happy life

And if I wanna be happy later on tonight

I think I'll let her think she's won the fight

Cuz I'd rather be happy than right

Ba ba ba da de bedum be da baba bababa

Well sometimes I forget what we're fighting for

And you gotta lose some battles if you wanna win the war

But I just don't feel like arguing no more

So I'mma raising my white flag high

And I'm satisfied cuz I know deep down

She really don't know what she's talking about

But I'll let her think she's got it all figured out

Cuz I'd rather be happy than right

Well you can't live without 'em

Can't live with 'em

It's a mighty fragile ecosystem

It really ain't all that hard a decision

Just let them sleeping dogs lie

Well

Happy wife

Happy life

And if I wanna be happy later on tonight

I think I'll let her think she's won the fight

Cuz I'd rather be happy than right

I think I'll let her think she's won the fight

Cuz I'd rather be happy

Rather be happy

Rather be happy than right
