You know the pressure is building up on me
The news has got me convinced that
everyone is guilty
Outside the rain is dripping, "Oh so nice?"
But wouldn't go out, couldn't just smile,
I couldn't be me
Confusion's got the better part of me

And all you gotta do is
pretend that we are working
On a better world that's lost
all of its turning
It's like we never do a thing
Does that give you happiness?
Oh happiness!
Oh happiness is all I need from you
Yeah happiness is all I need from you

And everybody seems to be feeling
the same way I do
What's new in the tabloids?
"The sky is falling on you!"
Maybe we are all crazy, maybe we're just lazy
In time you'll realize, yeah you just might
Maybe the world keeps turning on its other side

And all we gotta do is
pretend that we are walking
Around a world where a sun's still shining
The weather never does a thing
But it gives you happiness!
Oh happiness,
yeah happiness is all I need from you
Yeah happiness is hard for me and you
