I Wanna Be Happy

I wanna be happy; I don't wanna be sad.

I wanna be a good boy; I don't wanna be bad.

I wanna be happy.

Yeah, I wanna be happy so bad.



I wanna be happy; yeah, I really do.

But everybody's saying I'm no good for you.

They know that I'm a cretin, and I know it's true.

But I don't care.



I wanna see you at Kenmore Square, yeah,

And on the Bowery, too.

And in Toranto on Queen Street,

Or on Belmont Avenue.



'Cause I don't wanna be alone and sad no more,

And I've been through this before.

Can't you understand this much is true?

I wanna be happy with you.

It's all I wanna do.

I wanna be happy with you.



Riding the surf in Doheny, baby.

Walking on Mission Street, too.

Cruisin' down el Cajon Boulevard

And at First Avenue.
