Happy Lyrics

[Chorus]
I wanna feel good
Sick of feelin' so bad
I wanna be happy, happy, happy
What's the point of bein' sad?
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good

[Verse 1]
Got this day and I don't wanna waste it
Wanna have fun without gettin' wasted
Love the thrill of the chase, so I chase it
Yeah, I chase it

[Pre-Chorus]
There ain't no rain fallin'
Got all my friends callin'
I need a little sunshine up on my face
Cruisin' up PCH
Sounds like the perfect day, yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna feel good
Sick of feelin' so bad
I wanna be happy, happy, happy
What's the point of bein' sad?
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good

[Verse 2]
All the stars in the sky shine like we can
Every day, еvery night is the weekend
You and I, wе could dive off the deep end
Off the deep end

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ever since I saw you
I couldn't wait to call you
I need a little moonlight up on my face
You on my pillowcase
Sounds like the perfect day, yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna feel good
Sick of feelin' so bad
I wanna be happy, happy, happy
What's the point of bein' sad?
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good
[Bridge]
I got this day and I don't wanna waste it
I'm lovin' life and I want to embrace it
Feelin' this feelin', I don't wanna shake it, wanna shake it

[Chorus]
I wanna feel good
Sick of feelin' so bad
I wanna be happy, happy, happy
I just wanna be happy, happy, happy
I wanna feel good (I wanna feel good)
Sick of feelin' so bad (Sick of feelin' so bad)
I wanna be happy, happy, happy
What's the point of bein' sad? (What's the point of bein' sad?)
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, I wanna feel good

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Plain White T's say about "Happy"?
Genius Answer

The thing I love about “Happy” is that the lyrics are so optimistic and fun, but the chords and the melodies are so melancholy. It’s like, “Ok, I know I’m going through something right now, but I just wanna get over it already and feel good again!” Like I know things are gonna get better, but I’m not quite there yet.
