Lyrics
Happy To Be So
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.
Anything I say will be held against me,
so I won't say much or I'll spill it all.
By the light of day it's an elusive feeling,
but every single night that's immaterial.
I know a love that will not let me go.
My heart is bound and happy to be so.
It's so happy to be so,
happy to be so,
happy, happy, happy to be so.
If I try to pray, it's like a game of red rover.
I take a real good run at it, but I can't break through.
Don't matter anyway. I'm so redhanded.
The game is over. I'll just tell the truth.
I know a love that will not let me go.
My heart is bound and gagged and on death row.
It's so happy to be so,
happy to be so,
happy, happy, happy to be so. Ooh.
