The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So; let me tell you about marriage now
Well I says this and she says that
I say white and she says black
We're carrying on like a dog and a cat
And staying up half of the night
Well you can pick your battles and you might even win
But one thing I've learned time and time again
Comprimising ain't neccesarily giving in
And I'd rather be happy than right!
She wants to paint the house, you better just go along
You'll get used to that color suck it up! Move on!
That opinion you have, yeah probably wrong
No need to get all uptight.
Well I'm either getting older or wiser or lazy
Bou can call me whipped, and yeah, well maybe
But I'm still a man and call me crazy, I'd rather be happy than right!
Well you can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em
It's a mighty fragile ecosystem
It really ain't all that hard a decision, just let them sleeping dogs lie
Well, happy wife, happy life. And if I wanna be happy later on tonight, I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy than right
Well the one thing I've learned bout this marriage thing, is the key to success is in the editing
Before you say something stupid, stop and think
You may wanna zip it up tight
When it's all said and done I really do love her, I just bite my lip round her sister and her mother
I might be thinking one thing but I'll say another cuz I'd rather be happy than right
Well you can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em
It's a mighty fragile ecosystem
It really ain't all that hard a decision, just let them sleeping dogs lie.
Well, happy wife, happy life
And if I wanna be happy later on tonight, I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy than right
Ba ba ba da de bedum be da baba bababa
Well sometimes I forget what we're fighting for and you gotta lose some battles if you wanna win the war
But I just dont feel like arguing no more
So imma raising my white flag high
And I'm satisfied cuz I know deep down she really don't know what she's talking about, but I'll let her think she's got it all figured out cuz I'd rather be happy than right
Well you can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em
It's a mighty fragile ecosystem
It really ain't all that hard a decision, just let them sleeping dogs lie
Well, happy wife, happy life
And if I wanna be happy later on tonight, I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy than right
I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy, rather be happy, rather be happy than right
