Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah (Clap your hands, y'all)
Yes indeed (Just clap your hands, y'all)
Back again, it's flava beyond flava
It's the sounds of the youngest DJ in charge
(Clap your hands, y'all) Come on
(Just clap your hands, y'all) Come on
Ron G, come on
[Verse 2]
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
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
[Verse 3]
How can I love somebody else
If I can't love myself enough to know?
When it's time
Time to let go
(Mary) Sing
[Verse 4]
All I really want (Yeah)
Is to be happy (Oh yeah)
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet (Hey)
All I really want (Oh)
Is to be happy (I wanna be happy, yeah)
And to find a love that's mine (Yeah, yeah)
It would be so sweet
[Verse 5]
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 6]
Hey, yo, Mary, can we flip it once more?
I think it's 'bout time that we make an encore
Greg N-I-C-E straight bustin' through the door
Uplift the soul and much, much more
If you're feelin' down, baby doll, I'll make you happy
Not your brother, your mother, sister, need for your pappy
If you need me, you know where to find me
Real love, be happy, you remind me
[Verse 7]
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
(I said I wanna be happy)
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
It would be so sweet
[Verse 8]
Know what I'm sayin'? Big shout to my main man, Greg Nice
Big shout to Mary J
You know we got it going on
Big shout to my main man Tim Dawg
And big shout to my friend Waterbed
[Verse 9]
All I really want
Is to be happy
And to find a love that's mine
(I wanna be happy)
It would be so sweet
[Verse 10]
Clap your hands, y'all
Clap your hands, y'all
Y'all, come on
Y'all, come on, come on
Y'all, come on, come on
Y'all, y'all
Yeah, just clap your hands, y'all, come on
Just clap your hands, y'all, come on
Just clap your hands, y'all, come on
Just clap your hands, y'all
