Happy

Well, I never kept a dollar past sunset It always burned a hole in my pants Never made a school mama happy Never blew a second chance, oh no! I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby keep me happy Baby, baby keep me happy Always took candy from strangers Didn't wanna get me no trade Never want to be like papa Working for the boss ev'ry night and day I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby keep me happy Baby, baby keep me happy Never got a flash out of cocktails When I get some flesh off the bone Never got a lift out of lear jets When I can fly way back home Happy, baby won't you keep me... Happy, baby won't you keep me... Happy...
