Happy Lyrics

It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Here come bad news talking this and that
Yeah, give me all you got, don’t hold back
Yeah, well I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you don’t waste your time
Here’s why

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down… your love is too high…
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down… your love is too high…
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down… your love is too high…
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

This song is about not letting people bring you down and take away your happiness.

This is such a feel-good song, it's on the radio all the time in Australia at the moment and I'm not sick of it! Whenever I hear it I just want to run out on the street and hug a whole heap of randoms! XD

My Opinion

this song is great fun and it makes me happy. have this song on my phone me and my sisters love this. its different but i like it. this is 1 of my top 10 this week.

My Opinion

@09greenl This song is boring and disgusting, it makes me feel sick. I do not want this song on my list. This song is not in my top 10. :/

I believe that this is a positive mass song and the message is that a room without a roof will allow to see the blue sky or the stars and that's all anyone need to feel free and happy, (if it isn't cold and it isn't raining).

It's a rhythmic romantic song to feel happy with nothing, no matter how bad all the rest of this world could be, the song suggests happiness.

My Interpretation

This song is about a happy person (wow)

Cover art for Happy lyrics by Pharrell Williams

Its a song telling you not to let others or bad situations bring down your happiness down. Its saying stay happy and positive despite anything trying to bring you down.

It's feeling great to clap along ...

I swear this song is brainwashing music. The meaning is so general its just supposed to apply to everything and everyone.

There's no heart in it, he clearly wrote just so it'd be a hit and nothing else.

I will say the background music is decent... but for the most part this song is just another factory made hit that has little artistic value.

Plus what little content there is in the song is kind of horrifying if you think about it. It's basically just "Screw all the unhappiness in the world, I'm just gonna not think about it and be happy. Lalalalalalalala." Gross.

I think he's singing this to his ex, showing that he's "happy" even though she left him.

Song Meaning

The purpose of this song is to torture depressed people while they wait in line in Dollar General

This is the most god-awful annoying song I've ever heard. It's even worse than the majority of Rolling Stones songs. I'm subjected to this song about 3 times a day through the radio at work, and now when I hear it come on, I've taken to turning the volume all the way down. And that there, becomes a minute or two of peace. I look forward to the day that it's no longer played on the radio.

My Opinion

@drego5 Changing the station is always an option! :) Besides at work, of course, but that is literally the only time you should "have to" hear it, especially if you don't like it so much! :)
