Jack Guilford & Susan Watson – I Want To Be Happy lyrics

(Jimmy)
I'm a very ordinary man,
Trying to work out life's happy plan,
Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me.

When I find a very lonely soul,
To be kind becomes my only goal,
I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophy...

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
'Til I make you happy too.

Life's really worth living
When we are mirth giving
Why can't I give some to you?

When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through.

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
'Til I make you happy too.

(Nanette)
No one's ever talked like this to me,
I have never known such sympathy,
Only in my dreams, it really seems to me, it's too good to be true.

There are smiling faces everywhere,
Surely I deserve my little share,
I'm a lucky girl to know that I can get it all from you...

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
'Til I make you happy too.

Life's really worth living
When we are mirth giving
Why can't I give some to you?

When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smilin' through.

'Cause I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
'Til I make you happy...

(Jimmy)
'Til I make you happy...

(Both)
'Til I make you happy, too.
