When I was just a little child
Happiness was there awhile
Then from me, yeah, it slipped one day
Happiness, come back, I say
'Cause if you don't come, I've got to go
Lookin' for happiness
Well, if you don't come, I've got to go
Lookin', Lord, for happiness, happpiness

I'm hurting inside
I'm hurting inside
Oh, hear my cry, hear my cry, yeah
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, cry

Been together like school children
Then you hurt me just in vain
Lord, I'm your weary child
Happiness, come back awhile
'Cause if you don't come, I've got to go
Lookin' for happiness
The road is dangerous
Well, if you don't come, I've got to go
Lookin', lord, for happiness, happiness
I'm hurting inside
I'm hurting inside

Feel the pain, feel the pain
I'm hurting inside
I'm hurting inside
