Are You Happy Songtext
von The Commodores

Woman, are you happy with what you get?
A 40-hour-week job, it won′t make enough change to fill the fruit jar
Rich man, do you have enough millions, or the fanciest drink?
But not enough friends yet to love you, for who you are

The ones that say that money won't buy happiness
And the ones who say that love comes from inside (of the good ones)
Everybody needs an excuse or a reason for the way they live
So tell me how does it feel when you′re lyin' to yourself?

Are you happy? (Are you happy?)
With what you got (with what you got)
Tell me what does it take my brothers to satisfy, yeah, yeah
Are you happy? (Are you happy?)
With what you got (with what you got)
Tell me, what does it take, yeah, yeah, to satisfy


Hey, now let's be for real with each other, alright
Are you really happy with what you′ve got?
Or are you trying to make yourself believe you′re something you're not?
One man, so you wanna see, hey, your world in trouble, full of poverty

Preacher man, do you have enough people, oh, to say amen?
Or are there too many evils to try to spoil your plan
The door of explanations is always open to my face
′Cause always someone will either wait
I don't have much, but I don′t need a lot
I have love, and I'm thankful for what I′ve got

Are you happy? (Are you happy?)
With what you got (with what you've got)
Tell me what does it take my brothers to satisfy (come on)
Are you happy? (Are you happy?)
With what you got (with what you got)
Tell me what does it take my brothers to satisfy
