Why Can't We
Woke up early this morning
With a smile on my face
Thought you were next to me
But then I seek you walking away
Something alright this morning
Is it a sign he's leaving me
So I call on a friend, who might know better than me
She say's
You worry much about things you don't understand
But don't give up if it doesn't go with the plan
Why not have some fun while you still young and still ok
Cuz' life is short do what you can today today
Why can't you be happy
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Why can't we be happy
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
What is life about
Didn't nobody tell you
The reason why I ask I can see you are so confuse
Oh
You worry much about the things you cannot see
You have it all with your money you still complain
Why not live this life while you still young and still ok
Cuz' life is short do what you can today today
Why can't you be happy
Ooh ooh
