I Wanna Be Happy

I wanna be happy; I don't wanna be sad.
 I wanna be a good boy; I don't wanna be bad.
 I wanna be happy.
 Yeah, I wanna be happy so bad.
 I wanna be happy; yeah, I really do.
 But everybody's saying I'm no good for you.
 They know that I'm a cretin, and I know it's true.
 But I don't care.
 I wanna see you at Kenmore Square, yeah,
 And on the Bowery, too.
 And in Toranto on Queen Street,
 Or on Belmont Avenue.
 'Cause I don't wanna be alone and sad no more,
 And I've been through this before.
 Can't you understand this much is true?
 I wanna be happy with you.
 It's all I wanna do.
 I wanna be happy with you.
 Riding the surf in Doheny, baby.
 Walking on Mission Street, too.
 Cruisin' down el Cajon Boulevard
 And at First Avenue.
