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, yeah?

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?
