The Blue Stones
What’s It Take To Be Happy?
[Verse 1]
Woke up in a Cadillac
And the candy blue paint nearly gave me a heart attack
No I never signed up to be rich and famous
But if it goes my way I'll make it quick and painless
It’s what the aim is
I got sick at your mamma's house
And I know she's upset, couldn’t hear what she's on about
No I never signed up to be Mr. Shameless
And up until this point I kept the record stainless

[Chorus]
Oh what's it take to be happy?
Cause I'll just quit and do that
Yeah what's it take to be happy?
Cause I know I won't come back (da da da)

[Verse 2]
And I don't get Billie
Yeah I tried so hard but the voice sounds silly
So I decided that I don't give a fuck about hype
I’m just old she’s not my type
Guess that's alright
And I’m feeling damn good in my denim
Happy hour I'm buzzing I'm a weapon
Been a long few years we've been stressin’
And all I think about is how I can't wait to get out this place
Make a move, make a dollar leave a trace
I know a girl down in Arizona state that can make it all worth the wait
[Chorus]
Oh what's it take to be happy?
Cause I'll just quit and do that
Yeah what's it take to be happy?
Cause I know I won't come back (da da da)

[Bridge]
You're taking it too personal, just laugh and let it be
Quit trying to hold the world atop your shoulders, let them breathe
It's what I see

(da da da)
(da da da)

[Chorus]
Oh what's it take to be happy?
Cause I'll just quit and do that
Yeah what's it take to be happy?
Cause I know I won't come back (da da da)

Woke up in a Cadillac
So I went back to bed and there ain't nothing wrong with that
