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.
