Lyrics

I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got (She's got herself a real life better) (She's got herself a real life better) I ain't got no troubles, baby And I'm a long way from feelin' sad I ain't got no money either But that's something that don't really matter I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better (She's got herself a real life better) There's not enough hours in one day To sit and watch all my dreams come true Every day is a sunshine day Probably 'cause I'm happy and not because of you And that is something I can surely be proud of (La-dee-ya-dee-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo-doo) (La-dee-ya-dee-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo) She's got herself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Now I have found while I've grown What I really want in life for me And it's like a dream a dream come true I got the one I wanted, got the one I need And I couldn't be more happy now, I really, really mean it I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better (She's got herself a real life better) I've got myself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Oh, yeah
