I wanna be happy; I don't wanna be sad. I wanna be a good boy; I don't wanna be bad. I wanna be happy. Yeah, I wanna be happy so bad.
I wanna be happy; yeah, I really do. But everybody's saying I'm no good for you. They know that I'm a cretin, and I know it's true. But I don't care.
I wanna see you at Kenmore Square, yeah, And on the Bowery, too. And in Toranto on Queen Street, Or on Belmont Avenue.
'Cause I don't wanna be alone and sad no more, And I've been through this before. Can't you understand this much is true? I wanna be happy with you. It's all I wanna do. I wanna be happy with you.
Riding the surf in Doheny, baby. Walking on Mission Street, too. Cruisin' down el Cajon Boulevard And at First Avenue.
