i want to be happy
but i won't be happy
till i make you happy
too
life's really worth living
when we are mirth-giving
why can't i give some to you?
when skies are gray
and you say you are blue
i'll send the sun smiling through
i want to be happy
but i won't be happy
till i make you happy
too
i'm a very ordinary man
trying to work out life's happy plan
doing unto others as i'd like to have them
doing unto me
now when i find a very lonely soul
to be kind becomes my only goal
i feel so much better when i tell 'em my philosophy
i want to be happy
but i won't be happy
till i make you happy
too
life's really worth living
when we are mirth-giving
why can't i give some to you?
when skies are gray
and you say you are blue
i'll send the sun smiling through
i want to be happy
but i won't be happy
till i make you happy
too
happy
too
happy
too
