Seems the things I've wanted in my life
I've never had
So it's no surprise that livin' here
Has only left me sad

Happiness where are you?
I've searched so long for you
Happiness what are you?
I haven't got a clue
Happiness why do you have to stay
So far away
From me

When I'm in despair
And life has turned into a mess
I know that I don't dare
To end my search for happiness

Happiness where are you?
I've searched so long for you
Happiness what are you?
I haven't got a clue
Happiness why do you have to stay
So far away
From me

Happiness sometimes I think I see you from afar
When I run to catch you, though
That's just not where you are

Happiness where are you?
I've searched so long for you
Happiness what are you?
I haven't got a clue
Happiness why do you have to stay
So far away
From me

Happiness where are you?
I'm gonna get to you
Happiness what are you?
I'll know before I'm through
Happiness you know you just can't stay
So far away
From me
