Happy People

[Verse 1]
Happy people don't cheat
Happy people don't lie
They don't judge or hold a grudge
They don't criticize

[Verse 2]
Happy people don't hate
Happy people don't steal
'Cause all the hurt
Sure ain't worth all the guilt they'd feel

[Chorus]
If you wanna know the secret
You can't buy it, gotta make it
And you ain't ever gonna be it
Without takin' someone else's away
Never take it for granted
You ain't gotta understand it
But here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
Whatever makes you happy people

[Verse 3]
Happy people don't fail
Happy people just learn
They don't think they're above
Push or shove, they just wait their turn

[Verse 4]
They always got a hand
Or a dollar to spare
They know the golden rule and what you're going through
Even if they never been there

[Chorus]
So if you wanna know the secret
You can't buy it, gotta make it
And you ain't ever gonna be it
By takin' someone else's away
Never take it for granted
You ain't gotta understand it
But here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
Whatever makes you happy people

[Harmonica Interlude]

[Bridge]
And these days, it ain't so easy to find
They're the ones that you want standing on your side
No time for greed, if they need something, give 'em a smile
And we'll all be happy people

[Outro]
'Cause life is short
And love is rare
And we all deserve to be happy while we're here
