Happiness is in your own bed, baby
Don't need to lap up in somebody else's to find it
If you make your bed well
And appreciate your living
You won't have to be reminded
Of a high where you're livin'
'Cause if you spread yourself too thin
You're gonna sell yourself too short
It's easy to be blinded
And then you have to be reminded
You make your own bed
Life still don't stay away
Don't waste your action
Save your energies
'Cause they say a word
If you think too hard
You might pass over satisfaction
'Cause happiness is in your own bed, baby
You don't need to lap up in somebody else's to find it
If you make your bed well
And appreciate giving
You won't have to be reminded
But I'm glad you won't be blinded
'Cause it's right there at your fingertips
All you've been looking for
If you just make your own bed
And if you make it well
Now ya have to make your own bed
Baby now make it now
