I’M SO HAPPY I CRY
I’m happy this morning
I’m happy this morning
I’m happy this morning
I’m happy this morning
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
I’m so happy, I am so happy I cry
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Because today, today I feel alive
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Back in 1999
I touched everything that I could find
I used to scratch n’ sniff all night
Searching for that friend of mine
Caught the devil in disguise
Still deep dished her in her pie
All them things that made me high
Now make me sit and wonder why?
I never gave up, I never gave up
Gave up
I never gave up, gave up
Gave up
I’m so happy, I’m so happy I cry
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Because today, today I feel alive
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
I’m so happy, I’m so happy I cry
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Because today, today I feel alive
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
I’m happy, happy
Sappy, sappy
Sad songs are the worst songs
On a bad day
Or the best songs
On a good day
Stuck on replay
Just to feel a little
More than before
I’mma have to cheat a little
Wiggle out the hole of strictly wanting to settle
I shoulda wanted more but I was willing to settle
Now I’m hot like a crock pot
Steamin’ up the kettle
Caught between my feelings
Like I’m Malcolm in the Middle
Gave up, gave up, gave up
I never gave up, never gave up
Gave up
I’m so happy, I’m so happy I cry
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Because today, today I feel alive
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
I’m so happy, I’m so happy I cry
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Because today, today I feel alive
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
Today we wake up to another morning sun
Today we wake up to another morning sun
Today we wake up
Today we wake up
Today we wake up
I’m happy this morning
I’m happy this morning
I’m happy this morning
I’m happy this morning
Oh, I’m so happy I cry
