Happy people don't cheat Happy people don't lie They don't judge, or hold a grudge, don't criticize Happy people don't hate Happy people don't steal 'Cause all the hurt sure ain't worth all the guilt they feel If you want another secret Can't back out, or make it You ain't ever gonna be it By takin' someone else's away Never take it for granted You don't have to understand it Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face Whatever makes you happy people Happy people don't fail Happy people just learn Don't think that we're above the push and shove They just wait their turn They always got a hand, or a dollar to spare Know the golden rule, what you're goin' through Even if they never been there If you want another secret Can't back out, or make it You ain't ever gonna be it By takin' someone else's away Never take it for granted You don't have to understand it Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face Whatever makes you happy people These days ain't always easy to find They're the ones that you want standing by your side No time for greed, if they need some, give them some slack And we'll all be happy people Well life is short And love is rare And we all deserve to be happy while we're here
