Lyrics

Happy

[Verse 1]

The summer's gone too soon

The winter's coming out

And lives are falling and, I'm just bawling

You had me going out of my head!

And I look stupid

The pain was gruesome

We're deep for awhile, and then in heat for awhile

But there's no need for you now, because I'm free of you now

You see I'm

[Hook]

Happy (happy!)

Things are lookin good now (good now)

I feel so alive (SO A-LIVE)

I'm on overdrive (overdrive)

I'm killin it, I'm killin it

I'm good, I'm good, don't try coming back

I'm good, I'm good, cause I will not be there

I'm good, I'm good, it's not like you ever cared

[Verse 2]

Smiles would die too soon

Our days were filled with frowns

My job was calling, my life was falling

My friends said I looked like I was dead

Did I look stupid!

Oh damn you Cupid

You were shooting at me, instead it landed on her

If this is how it should be

We should have stayed how we were

Cause now I'm

[Hook]

Happy (happy!)

Things are lookin good now (good now)

I feel so alive (SO A-LIVE)

I'm on overdrive (overdrive)

I'm killin it, I'm killin it

I'm good, I'm good, don't try coming back

I'm good, I'm good, cause I will not be there

I'm good, I'm good, it's not like you ever cared

[Verse Three]

Damn you're stupid~!

How'd you lose it?

You had it all, but you treated it wrong

You've got some things to resolve, so I requested this song

Hey I'm just

[Hook]

Happy (happy!)

Things are lookin good now (good now)

I feel so alive (SO A-LIVE)

I'm on overdrive (overdrive)

I'm killin it, I'm killin it

I'm good, I'm good, don't try coming back

I'm good, I'm good, cause I will not be there

I'm good, I'm good, it's not like you ever cared
