Happy Song Lyrics

Blackstreet

1 - tonight
Gotta take these records off the shelf
Play something special for yourself
It's over now
Gotta leave your troubles far behind
Or just enough to ease your mind
Cuz only time can decide
Baby, you'll be alright this time

2 - oh, oh, oh, oh i, oh i
This time
Oh, oh, oh, oh i, oh i

Say my name when you feel the pain
I'll be there to shelter when it's pouring rain
If i can do anything
Girl you know
I'll try

Times are rough
You feel you're going nowhere
Your sadness hurts so bad
And there's no one to care
The sun shine's after the rain
Girl i know
Cuz i been there before
In this world all alone
And you been there for me
And you gave me your all
I've there before
You'll come around
And you'll be alright
Cuz this is your time, so

Repeat 1

Repeat 2

Just when you think love's about to end
That's when you find a new beginning
It's a part of life

You wonder why you go all through a change
Why it seemed like things never go your way
Girl, i know how it feels to be alone
Cuz i been there before
At the bottom alone
I know the way to reach the top
You got to let go
I've been insecure
You'll come around
And you'll be alright
Cuz this is your time, so

Repeat 1

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Whoa

3 - tonight
Gotta take these records off the shelf
Play something special for yourself
It's over now
Gotta leave your troubles far behind
On just enough to ease your mind

Repeat 3

Oh, tonight
Gotta take these records off the shelf
Play something special for yourself
Oh, tonight
Troubles are far behind
Let me ease your mind
Whoa

Repeat 3
