Lyrics

Happy Enough

Happy enough
I checked my life and see that I am
Happy enough
I don't know that I need any more than
Happy enough
To live the rest of my days
I just think that if I'm... Happy enough
I'll be fine and if I need to I can
Fake it and bluff
My way through those sad times when I know Happy enough... just isn't enough for me
Not for me

Happy enough
No one should ask for anything more than
Happy enough
And if you think you just can't live with
Happy enough
You may be asking for much more
Than you can get, so it's better if you're...

Happy enough
It's a simple smile, not a belly laugh,
It's not so tough
Sit back, shrug and say that I am
Happy enough
That's happy enough
For me, yes for me
