Gimme happiness
Over temptation any day
Oh, give me happiness
Satisfaction just gets in the way
Of my happiness
It's so easy to stray
From the pursuit of happiness
But I keep searching come what may
For my happiness
They don't love you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true?
How can they love you if you don't love you too?
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness
Gimme peacefulness
Over war any day
Oh, gimme graciousness
When things don't go my way
No more deceitfulness
I've had more than I can take
Oh, so much hatefulness
When will this world give me a break
From the hatefulness?
They don't love you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true?
How can they love you if you don't love you too?
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness
