Give me happiness over temptation any day
Lord, give me happiness, satisfaction just gets in the way
All my happiness, it's so easy to stray
In the pursuit of happiness, but I keep searching, come what may
For my happiness
They don't know you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true
How can they love you if you don't love you too
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness
Give me peacefulness over war any day
Oh give me graciousness but things don't go my way
No more deceitfulness, I've had more than I can take
Oh, so much hatefulness, when will this world give me a break?
From the hatefulness
They don't know you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true
How can they love you if you don't love you too
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness
Give me loneliness over something that ain't worth the pain
(Keep on searching for, keep on searching for)
Don't give me hopelessness, that ain't something I think I could take, of
(Keep on searching for, keep on searching for)
I want happiness (Happiness) but there's a price to pay (Happiness)
For my happiness (Happiness) sacrifices must be made (Happiness)
For my happiness
They don't know you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true
How can they love you if you don't love you too
(They don't know you like you think they do)
Keep on searching for
(Nobody loves you the way you want them to)
Keep on searching for
(They say they love you, but how can that be true)
Keep on searching for
(How can they love you if you don't love you too)
