Lyrics

?I Would Be Happy?

Sitting in my depressing apartment on the lower East Side
waiting for a check in the mail
Mama always told me that money didn?t mean everything
but, living like this is getting stale

My family and my friends say I?m asking for too much
but all the money in the world could never be enough

Chorus
I wanna have cars, I wanna have houses
wanna by caviar by the ounces, yeah
then I would be happy
I wanna be famous, wanna be rich
people would grant my every wish, yeah
then I would be happy

I?m movin? on, I?m movin? up, I?m leaving it all behind
the doors are open up ahead
Doesn?t matter what I have to do or what it takes
cause it?s all just a means to an end

Don?t give me your advice, I don?t care what you have to say
my eye is on the prize and nothing?s getting in my way

I?m gonna have cars, I gonna have houses
I gonna by caviar by the ounces, yeah
you know I will be happy
I?m gonna be famous, so damn rich
people would grant my every wish, yeah
you know I will be happy

Tu-tu-ru-tu.....

In my ivory tower with the art work on the wall
the price I paid was heavy but I still don?t have it all

Well I?m sitting in my depressing apartment on the upper east side
there?s nothing that I want that I don?t own
Mama always told me that money can?t buy everything
guess that?s why I feel so alone

I wanna have love, I wanna have family
I wanna have kids that eat cotton candy, yeah
then I will be happy
don?t need to be famous, don?t need to be rich
I would have my every wish
you know that I?ll be happy, yeah
when will I be happy, yeah
I just wanna be happy
