Lyrics

Miguel’s Happy Dance

[Verse]

Do the fuckin' happy dance

Even when you're really fuckin' mad

I guess that it's supposed to subside

Even though you're probably really mad

Even if you're really, really sad

You can probably be worse

Just have that sink in for a while

It's okay if it's not goin' your way

It never was

Don't believe their hype

It's probably all covered in lies

I should take my own advice

Even if it hurts, it's always gonna hurt the same

Hurt the same

Dance away the pain

It's gonna be alright

Just do the fuckin' dance

Even if you started to cry

It's okay

Everything will be alright

Take your time, Rome wasn't built in a day

It's okay, it's time to dance away your pain

It's alright

Just do the happy dance

Even if you're not alright

It's okay

Joy inside your pain

That's alright

Sometimes pain, it just fades

And then you'll breathe

Just dance

You will be alright

Keep dancin'

Even though you're not alright again

It's alright

Dance

The sun will eventually shine
