happy girl

i used to live in a darkened room

had a face of stone

and a heart of gloom

lost my hope

i was so far gone

cryin' all my tears

with the curtains drawn

i didn't know until my soul broke free

i've got these angels watching over me

oh watch me go

i'm a happy girl

everybody knows

that the sweetest thing you'll ever see

in the whole wide world

is a happy girl

i used to hide in a party crowd

bottled up inside

feeling so left out

standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes

with my frozen smile

and my lighted fuse

now every time i start to feel like that

i roll my heart out like a welcome mat

oh watch me go

i'm a happy girl

everybody knows

that the sweetest thing you'll ever see

in the whole wide world

is a happy girl

laugh when i feel like it

cry when i feel like it

that's just how my life is

that's how it goes

oh watch me go

i'm a happy girl

and i've come to know

that the world won't change

just 'cause i complain

let the axis twirl

i'm a happy girl

oh watch me go

i'm a happy girl

everybody knows

that the sweetest thing you'll ever see

in the whole wide world

is a happy girl

oh

yeah

oh

yeah

i'm a happy girl
