Lyrics
CAN YOU HANDLE IT TO BE HAPPY
When there's too much
of the same
you need a different
mind-frame
Can you handle it
handle it
can you handle it to be happy
handle it
can you handle it to be cheerful (up up up up)
can you handle it
handle it
can you handle it to be happy
handle it
can you handle it to be happy (up up up up)
When you don't like
what you see
you've gotta embrace
a new reality
Can you handle it
handle it
can you handle it to be happy
handle it
can you handle it to be cheerful (up up up up)
can you handle it
handle it
can you handle it to be happy
handle it
can you handle it to be up up up up up up up up
When you don't like what you see
you've gotta embrace a new reality
can you handle it
handle it to be happy (up up up up)
When your high
removes your low
and you've got that feelin'
while the beat goes on
Can you handle it handle it
oh can you handle it to be happy
handle it - can you handle it to be cheerful (up up up up)
can you handle it handle it
can you handle it to be happy
oh handle it - can you handle it to be happy
handle it handle it
can you handle it to be happy
oh handle it - can you handle it to be cheerful (up up up up)
can you handle it handle it
can you handle it to be happy
oh handle it - yeah can you handle it to be up up up up up up up
Can you handle it handle it
can you handle it handle it
handle it to be happy - to be happy
