Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to live in a darkened room

Had a face of stone and a heart of gloom

Lost my hope, I was so far gone

Crying all my tears with the curtains drawn

I didn't know until my soul broke free

I've got these angels watching over me

[Chorus]

Oh, watch me go

I'm a happy girl, everybody knows

That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see

In the whole wide world is a happy girl

[Instrumental]

I used to hide in a party crowd

Bottled up inside, feeling so left out

Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes

With my frozen smile and my lighted fuse

Now every time I start to feel like that

I roll my heart out like a welcome mat

[Chorus]

Oh, watch me go

I'm a happy girl, everybody knows

That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see

In the whole wide world is a happy girl

[Instrumental]

Laugh when I feel like it

Cry when I feel like it

That's just how my life is

That's how it goes

[Instrumental]

Oh, watch me go

I'm a happy girl, and I've come to know

That the world won't change just 'cause I complain

Let the axis twirl, I'm a happy girl

Oh, watch me go

I'm a happy girl, everybody knows

That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see

In the whole wide world is a happy girl

[Outro]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, I'm a happy girl
