I want to be happy (happy)
Friend, bring me to your place cause I wanna be there
I live in the kind of place that God cannot bless
Sir, happy (happy)
Bring me to your place cause I wanna be there
I live in the kind of place that you will never rest, sir

I go slowly walking away
Like everyday if you wanna shot me go easily
Now I'm not what I used to be, no
That's why I wanna be

Happy, happy
Like anybody else I wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Happy, happy
Like anybody else I wanna be, be, be, be
I want to be

But mama told me that dreams come true
When I go back in the time I stop to think of you
I want to be happy (happy)
But I live in the kind of place that God cannot bless
Sir, I just wanna be happy (happy, happy)
Bring me to your place cause I wanna be there
But I live in the kind of place that you will never rest, sir

I go slowly walking away
Like everyday if you wanna shot me go easily
Now I'm not what I used to be, no
That's why I wanna be

Happy, happy
Like anybody else I wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Happy, happy
Like anybody else I wanna be, be, be, be
I want to be

I wanna be happy again
I wanna see the whole wild world helping this man
I gotta do it for my family, it's easy to understand
My life was getting wrond now I wanna get right
Help me sing my song to make me a better life
I don't need to be rich, that's not necessary
But I really want a girl just like Mariah Carey
My charm is a felony, my voice is a melody
You know what I wanna be, it's not so hard to see
But where I live ain't blessed, it's so hard to sleep
(And now) I'm not what I used to be
That's why I wanna be (that's why I wanna be yeah)

Happy, happy
Like anybody else I wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Happy, happy
Like anybody else I wanna be, be, be, be
I want to be

Like nobody else
Just wanna be happy
Just one day in my life, for real
