Lyrics
Let me tell you now Here we go It might seem crazy what I'm about to say Sunshine she's here, you can take a break I'm a hot air balloon that can go to space With the air, like I don't care baby by the way (come on) Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I'm happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do (hey) Here come bad news talking this and that (yeah) Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back (yeah) Well, I should probably warn you, you'll be just fine (yeah) No offense to you, don't waste your time (Here's why) Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I'm happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do Here go (Happy) Bring me down Can't nothing (happy) Bring me down My level's too high (happy) To bring me down (Happy) To bring me (Let me tell you now) Bring me down Can't nothing Bring me down His level's too high To bring me down To bring me down Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I'm happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I'm happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I'm happy Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
