While not a single, this was the first song off the B side of their 11th album, and part of the song ended up being sampled in Kendrick Lamar’s Ronald Reagan Era.
[Verse 1]
Once in a while I could look at you
See the twinkle in your eyes
With not a word between us
See you smilin' 'cause you read my mind
Once in a while I could hold you
Not have to say a thing
Though I was giving you all my love
Just by what you were feeling
[Chorus]
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
[Verse 2]
Once in a while I could wake up
Find you lyin' there, touchin' me, oh, my little girl
Once in a while I could wake up
Find you lyin' there, touchin' me
Once in a while, twenty years from now
After all that we've been through
I could tell you by one caress
That it's been good bein' loved by you
[Chorus]
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
[Interlude]
Oh, my little girl
[Outro]
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
