Without a love to call my own my life was incomplete It seems I couldn't help but think that love was not for me But my life took on a different twist when I met me a man that I couldn't resist I didn't know what all I'd missed, and I'm a gettin' happy Oh, I'm a gettin' happy Yeah, I'm a gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song And he helps me sing along - I'm a gettin' happy Oh, I'm a gettin' happy Oh, people used to talk of love and I couldn't understand About the fire and the desire in lovin' a good man Oh, but now I know just what they meant since I met me a man that was Heaven sent Wonder where the sadness went, cause I'm a gettin' happy Oh, I'm a gettin' happy I'm a gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song And he helps me sing along - an' I'm a gettin' happy Oh, I'm a gettin' happy - whoo! Yeah, I'm gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone I got someone to call my own, now my life is like a song Got someone to sing along and I'm a gettin' happy Oh, I'm a gettin' happy Hey, hey I'm a gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone 'Cause I'm a gettin' happy
