Karen Fairchild - Happy People lyrics

[Verse 1] Happy people don't cheat Happy people don't lie They don't judge, or hold a grudge, don't criticize Happy people don't hate Happy people don't steal Cause all the hurt sure ain't worth all the guilt they feel [Chorus] If you wanna know the secret Can't buy it, gotta make it You ain't ever gonna be it By takin' someone else's away Never take it for granted You don't have to understand it Here's to whatever what puts a smile on your face Whatever makes you happy, people [Verse 2] Happy people don't fail Happy people just learn Don't think they're above the push and shove Just wait their turn They always got a hand, or a dollar to spare Know the golden rule or what you're goin' through Even if they never been there [Chorus] If you wanna know the secret Can't buy it, gotta make it You ain't ever gonna be it By takin' someone else's away Never take it for granted You don't have to understand it Here's to whatever what puts a smile on your face Whatever makes you happy, people [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] These days ain't always easy to find They're the ones that you want standing by your side No time for greed, if they need some, give 'em a slice And we'll all be happy people [Outro] Well, life is short And love is rare And we all deserve to be happy while we're here
