When I was just a little child (little child) Happiness was there awhile (there awhile) And from me it... it slipped one day Happiness come back I say
Cause if you don't come I've got to go looking For happiness
Well if you don't come I've got to go looking God, for happiness, happiness
Say that Say I'm hurting And it's no sense I'm hurting, I'm hurting Deep inside Oh good god now
Oh hear my cry, hear my cry Yeah my my my my my my my cry
Been together like school children (school children) Then you hurt me just in vain (just in vain) Oh, Lord, I'm your weary child Oh, happiness come back awhile
Cause if you don't come I'm gonna go looking For happiness (the road is dangerous) I've got to go looking For happiness, happiness
Said I'm Don't you know I'm I'm hurting, hurting inside Oh I'm hurting Who cares Who cares
Does the one who love, oh Feel the pain Feel the pain
