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
Cryin' all my tears

With the curtains drawn

I didn't know until my soul broke free

I've got these angels watching over me

Oh watch me go

I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing you'll ever see

In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl


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

Oh watch me go

I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing you'll ever see

In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl


Laugh when I feel like it
Cry when I feel like it
That's just how my life is

That's how it goes

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 you'll ever see
In the whole wide world

Is a happy girl

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah
I'm a happy girl
