Happy Lyrics

Happy lives all around the world inside of every boy and girl, yeah
Dollar bills and gold and 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
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, my old friend, where has the time gone?
We were thick as thieves until hate came along
What a mess we've gotten into
Hey, happy, why can't everybody just be you?

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, nah

My old friend where has the time gone?
We were thick as thieves until hate came along
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?
