I used to live in a darkened room Had a face of stone And a heart of gloom Lost my hope I was so far gone Cryin' all my tears With the curtains drawn I didn't know until my soul broke free I've got these angels watching over me Oh watch me go I'm a happy girl Everybody knows That the sweetest thing you'll ever see In the whole wide world Is a happy girl I used to hide in a party crowd Bottled up inside Feeling so left out Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes With my frozen smile And my lighted fuse Now every time I start to feel like that I roll my heart out like a welcome mat Oh watch me go I'm a happy girl Everybody knows That the sweetest thing you'll ever see In the whole wide world Is a happy girl Laugh when I feel like it Cry when I feel like it That's just how my life is That's how it goes Oh watch me go I'm a happy girl And I've come to know That the world won't change Just 'cause I complain Let the axis twirl I'm a happy girl Oh watch me go I'm a happy girl Everybody knows That the sweetest thing you'll ever see In the whole wide world Is a happy girl Oh, yeah Oh, yeah I'm a happy girl
