[Verse 1:]
There's a man sitting down by the 405
Hitting some kind of tune on his raving guitar
He seems stranded in a desert
Of a million dreams
Just like life hasn't been exactly as nice as it seems
Hello, how are you?
Why are you looking so sad on a day like this?
Do you feel like talking?
Now you got me started
I wanna see a smile upon your clueless face
Yeah
[Chorus:]
You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy
Hey
Like kids getting ready to play
Come on and bring it on
On and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along
And don't drag it on
You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day
[Verse 2:]
You say your girlfriend is pretty
She's waiting at home
Got a safe job
And you can call a little house
And Chevy your own
It all seems perfect
But ain't perfect just as boring as hell
You've been craving for this
And now you're stuck just like a snail in its shell
All that matters is that
You can be free to live your life
The way you sincerely feel it
Cause life's too short
You don't wanna be
A prisoner of your own illusions
And I shout it out
[Chorus:]
You could be so happy
You got somebody to love
You could be so happy
Ain't that good enough
Ain't no use to sit
And drag it on
Thinking about the mess you've done
Nothing's wrong
Just bring it on
You could be so happy
You got somebody to love
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na, na
Na na, na, na, na, na
Na, na na na na
Na, na na na
Na, na na
Na, na na na
Na, na na na
Na, na na na
[Chorus:]
You could be so happy
On this brand new beautiful day
You could be so happy
Like kids getting ready to play
Come on and bring it on
On and on
Nothing that you do is wrong
Come along
And come bring it on
You could be so happy
Ain't that good enough
Ain't no use to sit and drag it on
Think about the mess you've done
Nothing's wrong
Just bring it on
You could be so happy
You got somebody to love
I see a man sitting down by the 405
Got a smile on his face
Thinking
What a wonderful life
