You Gotta Want To Be Happy

On Saturday, somewhere,

Somehow I’m famous

And sometimes it can last for

As long as two hours

Come Monday, I’ll be back on earth

And the silence is deafening

Till Friday, I’ll be back at work

But I’m living for the weekend

 

There’s nothing that we can do for you

You gotta want to be happy

There’s nothing that we can say or do,

You gotta want to be happy

 

If you were a day of the week,

Tell me what day would you be?

Or if you were a season,

A month of the year,

September, March or July?

Cos’ I think you’d be a summer’s day,

Every time

Yeah I know you give off those warmest rays

Cos I’ve seen you shine

 

There’s nothing that we can do for you

You gotta want to be happy

There’s nothing that we can say or do,

You gotta want to be happy

 

I kneeled down, gave all I got

Cos it was nothing to me

They looked up and the rain hit their face

I thought where are you gonna sleep

Cos it’s cold outside we got this easy life

That we shouldn’t take for granted

Just give all you’ve got cos you’ll always find more and dance The blues away

 

You gotta work to be happy

You gotta try to be happy

Cos it ain’t easy being happy

And yeah you taught me to be happy
