- Verse:
- Why did I sigh, why did
I cry, why did I feel so blue?
- Nobody cared, nobody shared,
worries that I went through.
- Only gray skies greeted
my eyes ev'ry morn when I'd wake,
- Isn't it strange what a
big change one little word will make.
-
- Chorus:
- That's why I'm Happy, my
baby just said "yes,"
- Oh boy I'm Happy today.
- I said I'm happy, I'm going
"bugs," I guess,
- That's why I'm acting this
way.
- Her lips have told me, What
I've been longing for,
- There's nothing more I can
say,
- Except I'm Happy, my baby
just said "yes,"
- That's why I'm Happy to
day.
