I Wanna Be Happy

Backstreet Boys · Other Songs - Backstreet Boys

I see people come and go, see people fall in & outta love

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.
