Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Without a love to call my own, my life was incomplete

It seems I couldn't help but think that a-love was not for me

My life took on a different twist when I met me a man that I couldn't resist

I didn't know what all I'd missed and I'm a-gettin' happy

Oh, I'm a-gettin' happy, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm a-gettin' happy, all my lonely days are gone

I'm a-gettin' happy, no more lonely nights alone

I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song

And he helps me sing along, I'm a-gettin' happy

Oh, I'm a-gettin' happy

[Verse 2]

Oh, people used to talk of love and I couldn't understand

About the fire and the desire in lovin' a good man

Oh, but now I know just what they meant since I met me a man that was Heaven-sent

Wonder where the sadness went 'cause I'm a-gettin' happy

Oh, I'm a-gettin' happy

[Chorus]

I'm a-gettin' happy, all my lonely days are gone

I'm a-gettin' happy, no more lonely nights alone

I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song

And he helps me sing along and I'm a-gettin' happy

Oh I'm a-gettin' happy, woo

[Instrumental]

Yeah, I'm a-gettin' happy, all my lonely days are gone

I'm a-gettin' happy, no more lonely nights alone

I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song

Got someone to sing along and I'm a-gettin' happy

Oh, I'm a-gettin' happy, hey, hey

[Outro]

I'm a-gettin' happy, all my lonely days are gone

I'm a-gettin' happy, no more lonely nights alone

'Cause I'm a-gettin' happy
