Curtis Mayfield
Be Happy (2019 Mix)
[Verse 1]
How can I love somebody else
If I can't love myself enough
To know when it's time, time to let go?
Oh-whoa
Sing

[Chorus]
All I really want (Yeah)
Is to be happy (Oh yeah)
And to find a love that's mine (Ooh)
It would be so sweet (Hey)
All I really want (Oh)
Is to be happy (I wanna be happy, yeah)
And to find a love that's mine (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It would be so sweet

[Verse 2]
I asked for a sign from my sweet Lord above
I know the answer is in front of me
But when you think you're in love
You only see what you wanna see
And all I see is me for you and you for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I cannot hide the way I feel inside
(No, I don't know why)
I don't know why but every day I wanna cry
(Every day I wanna cry)
But if I give you one more try
To these rules, will you abide?
And if I mean anything to you
Would it make everything all right? (Ooh)
[Chorus]
All I really want
Is to be happy (Ooh)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (I said I wanna be happy)
All I really want
Is to be happy (Oh, I wanna be)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (To find a love that's mine)
All I really want (Oh, it'll be so fine)
Is to be happy (Wanna be happy)
And to find a love that's mine (Yeah)
It would be so sweet (It would be so sweet)
All I really want (If only we could be)
Is to be happy (We can be happy)
And to find a love that's mine (I wanna be happy)
It would be so sweet

[Bridge]
I just wanna be so, so, happy
But the answer lies in me
I do believe that we can be happy
I said I wanna be happy, yeah, yeah
Yeah, now let it breathe

[Verse 3]
Life is too short to be tryin' to play some games
Now take some time and think about
If it's really worth losing me
Why must it be this way?
Why do you have to play with my mind all the time?
Help me sing it
[Pre-Chorus]
All I really want is for me to be happy
(Oh, just help me sing it)
All I really want is for me to be happy
(Yeah, yeah yeah)
All I really want is for me to be happy
(Oh, you know I wanna be happy)
All I really want is for me to be happy (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
All I really want
Is to be happy
(I don't wanna have to worry about nothin' no more)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Yeah)
All I really want
Is to be happy
(Said I wanna be, said I wanna be, said I wanna be)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
(Said I wanna be happy if it's all right with you and me)
All I really want (It'll be all right with me)
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
(Won't you help me sing? Just help me sing it, yeah)
It would be so sweet
All I really want
Is to be happy (Yeah)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Oh)
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
