I don't believe what I'm hearin'
You can't impress me by what you show me
Don't think I am goin' through changes
Or you might see me change for the last time

Having a bad day
Better deal with it
If you're playin' games
No time for it
If you're bringin' pain
Gonna run from it
Don't mess up my day


I'm the only one who's responsible
For me havin' fun
And you can't change that


CHORUS:
Happiness is what my life's about
Happiness no I can't do without
Happiness nothing can stop me now
Through ups and downs I'm still happy


Life is as good as I make it
I can't sit while you make it for me
I like those jewels you gave me
But I wanna buy some jewels for myself
To lose the ball and chain
Gotta reach for it
Nothin' comes for free
Gotta reach for it
No I'm not gonna have to depend on you


I'm the only one
Who's responsible
For me having fun
And you can't take my


CHORUS
