Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clap your hands to the beat
Just clap your hands to the beat (Come on)
[Verse 2]
How can I love somebody else
If I can't love myself enough to know?
When it's time, time to let go
Sing
[Verse 3]
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
All I really want
Is to be happy (I wanna be happy, yeah)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
[Verse 4]
I asked for a sign
From my sweet Lord above
I know the answer is in front of me, but when
You think you're in love
You only see what you wanna see
And all I see is me for you
And you for me
[Verse 5]
All I really want
Is to be happy (I wanna be happy)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
All I really want
Is to be happy (I wanna be happy, yeah)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
[Verse 6]
Life is too short to be tryin' to play some games
Now take some time and think about
If it's really worth losing me
Why must it be this way?
Why do you have to play with my mind
All the time?
Help me sing it
[Verse 7]
All I really want
Is to be happy (Help me sing it)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (All I want is to be)
All I really want
Is to be happy (Happy)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
All I really want
Is to be happy
(I don't wanna have to worry 'bout nothin' no more, no no)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (I wanna be happy, yeah)
All I really want
Is to be happy (I wanna be happy, yeah, yeah)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Yeah)
[Verse 8]
All I really want (All I really want is for me to be happy)
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine (All I really want is for me to be happy)
It would be so sweet
All I really want (All I really want is for me to be happy)
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine (All I really want is for me to be happy)
It would be so sweet (Remix)
[Verse 9]
Yo, my style is major flavor
And my 9 be on my hip like my skypager (That's right)
All I really wanna do is be happy
And take it to the streets and puff a little bombazee
And have mad properties like Ali Baba and the forty thieves
'Cause nobody makes songs like these (Unh-uh) — please
I come with complexity poetry
At multiple degrees on phony MC's (Yeah)
And my Squad is Def, they don't hear nothin'
And my tank is on 'F', and that's not for frontin'
I spread love like the AIDS virus
Laughing at rappers and biters who try this
My purpose is to let all the bull surface
And seal and kill it with a deadly kiss
Even though Keith Murray's style is scrappy and nappy
All I wanna do is be happy (Be happy)
[Verse 10]
All I really want
Is to be happy (Yeah)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Rock on)
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
[Verse 11]
All I really want (Say what?)
Is to be happy (Rock on)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Remix)
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Come on)
[Verse 12]
Bad Boy
'9-5
Clap your hands to the beat
Clap your hands to the beat
