Gilbert O'Sullivan - Are You Happy? lyrics

rate me

You say you got a big house out in the country

With a ruddy great swimming pool

You say you got a lot of things I never had, that's true

But are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

When you get right down to the nitty gritty

Are you happy you

You say you got boyfriends calling you up

Every other day of the week

And that you got more now then you could ever need

But are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

When you get right down to the nitty gritty

Are you happy

You can find happiness

In a hole in your sock

You can be fully dressed

In a coat that's a frock

You can stand in the rain when it's raining

And not think it's not sunny

You say you got a car parked out in the drive

That you've not even driven yet

And that you got another one that you can use instead

But are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

When you get right down to the nitty gritty

Are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy you

What about love

Money couldn't buy it and that's the crazy thing

When you've had enough of trying to deny it

Look what love can bring

But are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

When you get right down to the nitty gritty

Are you happy

You can be who you are

Without having to prove

In a sense who you are

With attempts that are crude

Buying acres of land that you won't even use

Is not the answer

You say you got an aunt

Whose cousin is married to a relative of the queen

And that you get invited to every social scene

But are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy

When you get right down to the nitty gritty

Are you happy

Are you happy

Are you happy you
