[Verse 1]
I'm self-helpless, I skip breakfast
I get jealous, I'm not independent
I'm selfish, obsessive, expensive, possessive
My checklist of issues is endless

[Pre-Chorus]
Where's my reference for self-acceptance?
It's not supposed to be this hard
Does anyone know where to start?

[Chorus]
I need happiness for dummies
Someone teach me how to love me
Swear to god, I'm really tryin'
Where the hell's my silver lining?
In my head, it's pretty ugly

[Post-Chorus]
I need happiness for dummies
I need happiness for dummies
I need, I need

[Verse 2]
Affirmations, meditations
Therapy, and finding patience
Learning, observing, I think I'm deserving
So, tell me why none of it's working
[Pre-Chorus]
Where's my breakthrough? Well overdue
It's not supposed to be this hard
Does anyone know where to start?

[Chorus]
I need happiness for dummies
Someone teach me how to love me
Swear to god, I'm really tryin'
Where the hell's my silver lining?
In my head, it's pretty ugly

[Post-Chorus]
I need happiness for dummies
I need happiness for dummies
I need, I need

[Outro]
I need happiness for dummies (I need, I need happiness)
I need happiness for dummies (I need, I need)
(I need happiness for dummies) dummies
I need happiness for dummies, yeah
I need happiness for dummies
