Lyrics

[Chorus]

Only you can make me happy

Happy

Only you can make me happy

[Verse 1]

I never thought that I

I'd find someone like you

I feel hypnotized with the things you do

I'll never let you go

No

You're so right for me

I have to let you know

Forever, you and me

[Chorus]

Only you can make me happy

Happy

Only you can make me happy

Happy

[Verse 2]

You must be Heaven sent

Sent into my life

And I compliment you, baby, baby

We have a love that's strong and true

It's true in every way

I want to be with you

Each and every day

[Chorus]

Only you can make me happy

Happy

Only you can make me happy

So happy

[Chorus]

Only you can make me happy

Happy, happy

Only you can make me happy

So happy, yeah

[Bridge]

"Hello

How you doing, baby?

You know, I was just thinking about you

You know, I'm glad you called

Were you coming right over?

Beautiful, baby

I'll be waiting

I love you too"

[Bridge]

You're all I need in my life (In my life)

I don't need no one

I don't need no one but you

You're all I need in my life (In my life)

I don't need no one

I don't need no one but you

[Outro]

Only you can make me happy

Happy, happy, happy

Only you can make me happy

Happy, happy, so happy
