Pursuit Of Happiness

Give me happiness over temptation any day
Oh, give me happiness, satisfaction just gets in the way
Ah, my happiness, it's so easy to stray
In the pursuit of happiness, but I keep searching, come what may
For my happiness

They don't love you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true?
How can they love you if you don't love you too?

Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness

Give me peacefulness over war any day
Oh give me graciousness but things don't go my way
No more deceitfulness, I've had more than I can take
Oh, so much hatefulness, when will this world give me a break?
From the hatefulness

They don't love you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true?
How can they love you if you don't love you too?

Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness, keep on searching for
Happiness

Give me loneliness over something that ain't worth the pain (keep on searching for)
(Keep on searching for)
Don't give me hopelessness
That ain't something I think I could take, oh (keep on searching for)
(Keep on searching for)
I want happiness (happiness) but there's a price to pay (happiness)
For my happiness (happiness) sacrifices must be made (happiness)
For my happiness

They don't love you like you think they do
Nobody loves you the way you want them to
They say they love you, but how can that be true?
How can they love you if you don't love you too?

(They don't know you like you think they do) keep on searching for
(Nobody loves you the way you want them to) keep on searching for
(They say they love you, but how can that be true) keep on searching for
(How can they love you if you don't love you too?)
