I Wanna Be Happy
Backstreet Boys · Other Songs - Backstreet Boys
As my mother told me she said don't let life control me, but I did
So what you think of me, what you think of me now and who I am?
I'm everything you wanted me to be, as you can see I'm very happy
I need sometime to find myself in me
And I need sometime to find true love
But if I can't then I won't stop trying
If I don't then I won't live lying
What do people really want?
They wanna be happy...
I wanna be happy.
