Maybe I don't love you quite as much As I believe I love you, baby But don't tell me 'cause lovin' you's A happy state of mind. Maybe I don't need you quite as much As I profess to need you, baby But don't leave me needin' you's A happy state of mind. And who's to say anyway That love is not a game we play Why's it always gotta be considered A condition of the heart. hmm hmm As long as I feel warm inside Wanted, filled and satisfied Who am I to be denied this feelin' Be it love or be it just a happy state of mind. Maybe it's just something I've imagined In the hours when I'm sleepin' But don't wake me cause dreamin' is A happy state of mind. Maybe I just gotta have somebody And you're close and you're somebody But don't leave me, you've put me in A happy state of mind. And who's to say anyway That love is not a game we play Why's it always gotta be considered A condition of the heart. hmm hmm As long as I feel warm inside Wanted, filled and satisfied Who am I to be denied this feelin' Be it love or be it just a happy state of mind. You've put me in a happy state of mind Lovin' you's a happy state of mind Havin' you's a happy state of mind Don't take away my happy state of mind
