Lyrics

Happy

[Verse 1]

What happened to the roses

And the little phone calls we made throughout the day

And the silly little games we played

But somehow things have changed

How I miss the old

Got my feelings thrown

We're barely holdin on

[Chorus]

Why can't we

You and me

Be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

Why can't we just chill and be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

[Verse 2]

The arguing

Seems to win over lovin

Used to be huggin

Kissin and rubbin

Now everyday is something new

Seperating me and you

I thought that we could get through anything

[Chorus]

Why can't we

You and me

Be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

Why can't we just chill and be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

[Bridge]

Baby

Lets start over again,and

Get back to being friends, and

Lets try harder this time

Whoah Baby tell me

[Chorus]

Why can't we

You and me

Be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

Why can't we just chill and be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

Why can't we

You and me

Be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)

Why can't we just chill and be happy

(Why can't we just be so happy)
