Everybody wants to be loved

And everybody wants to be happy

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time there was a little bitty girl

Sitting in her room with no love in her world

Thinking what to do with the rest of her life

Mama said, "Girl, it's gonna be alright"

[Chorus]

Got to be happy

Yeah, yeah

Got to be happy

People on the street, people watching TV

Thinking they can buy what they really, really need

Can't find it at the mall, search the seven seas

You can't even get it at Givenchy
