Cover art for Happy lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset- Don't be stingy It always burned a hole in my pants- Don't care 'bout cloths so much Never made a school mama happy- You don't always have to live up to your expectations.

Never blew a second chance, oh no- Don't blow a second chance when you get one.

I need a love to keep me happy, I need a love to keep me happy. Baby, baby keep me happy. Baby, baby keep me happy.

Chorus: Means you need love to be happy.

Always took candy from strangers- Take Risks Didn't wanna get me no trade- You don't have to cheat or lie to do buisness. Never want to be like papa- You don't have to be what your family is, you can be so much better

Working for the boss ev'ry night and day- Be your own Person

Never got a flash out of cocktails- Being famous isn't always happy When I got some flesh off the bone- Kinda pointing at society's ways Never got a lift out of Lear jets- Implying that you don't want to go home. When I can fly way back home- Implying that you want to go home.

My Interpretation
