ALL I WANT IS TO BE HAPPY

Some people say I’ve got no ambition,

I  got to claw my way to the top.

I can’t be happy without condition

I might feel good and never stop.

CHORUS

All I want is to be happy.

It don’t matter what I have or do.

All I want is to be happy

and to share the light of love with you.

All I want is to be happy.

That depends on my point of view.

All I want is to be happy

and to share the light of love with you.

There’s more to life than making money

to buy a house with things I’ll never use,

a flashy car and a sexy honey

when what I really need is the truth.

CHORUS

I used to play a foolish game

called “I’ll be happy only when....

I thought joy came from the outside,

now I see it comes from within.

Whatever is, is perfect.

Whatever is, just suits me fine.

It holds a lesson for me to learn

and I can’t change the world

so I’ll change my mind.

All I want is to be happy.

It don’t matter what I have or do.

All I want is to be happy

and to share the light of

All I want is to be happy,

like a puppy in a puddle,

with a friend or two.

All I want is to be happy

and to share the light of love with you.

All I want is to be happy

and to share the light of love with you.

love with you.
