Pursuit of Happiness

Give me happiness over temptation any day

Lord, give me happiness, satisfaction just gets in the way

All my happiness, it's so easy to stray

In the pursuit of happiness, but I keep searching, come what may

For my happiness

They don't know you like you think they do

Nobody loves you the way you want them to

They say they love you, but how can that be true

How can they love you if you don't love you too

Happiness, keep on searching for

Happiness, keep on searching for

Happiness

Give me peacefulness over war any day

Oh give me graciousness but things don't go my way

No more deceitfulness, I've had more than I can take

Oh, so much hatefulness, when will this world give me a break?

From the hatefulness

They don't know you like you think they do

Nobody loves you the way you want them to

They say they love you, but how can that be true

How can they love you if you don't love you too

Happiness, keep on searching for

Happiness, keep on searching for

Happiness, keep on searching for

Happiness

Give me loneliness over something that ain't worth the pain

(Keep on searching for, keep on searching for)

Don't give me hopelessness, that ain't something I think I could take, of

(Keep on searching for, keep on searching for)

I want happiness (Happiness) but there's a price to pay (Happiness)

For my happiness (Happiness) sacrifices must be made (Happiness)

For my happiness

They don't know you like you think they do

Nobody loves you the way you want them to

They say they love you, but how can that be true

How can they love you if you don't love you too

(They don't know you like you think they do)

Keep on searching for

(Nobody loves you the way you want them to)

Keep on searching for

(They say they love you, but how can that be true)

Keep on searching for

(How can they love you if you don't love you too)
