Billy Preston
Happy (Live 1975)
[Verse 1]
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance
[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
[Verse 2]
Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day
[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
[Verse 3]
Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I can fly way back home
[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby, yeah she keeps me happy
[Guitar Solo 2]
[Chorus]
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love, I need a love to keep me happy, baby
[Bridge]
Oh won’t you keep me happy
Baby, won't you keep me happy
Yeah, won't you keep me happy
Baby, won’t you keep me happy
[Guitar Solo 3]
[Outro]
[Audience Applause]
