Want To Be Happy

I want to be happy
All the days of my life
Not to be a depressed looking
Boring, old nag of a wife

I want to be happy
So I won't run away
To a very far place 
Where I can just lay

I want to be happy
Cause I'm tried of feeling down
I'm feeling so crazy
That my head keeps spinning round

I want to be happy
And not so much a pest
To make my children happy
So I can do my best

I want to be happy
To keep my chin up high
So I can stop this feeling
Of just staying here to lie
