When people put you down   It's 'cause they're jealous of you   They shouldn't make you frown   You know as well as I do      It's 'cause I love you   For the things you do for me   One day they'll realize   And wish that they were me      One thing I know for sure   We both get satisfaction   That's why they're mad at us   'Cause they ain't got what we got      It's 'cause I'm happy   For the things you do for me   One day they'll realize   And wish that they were me      Don't even think about changing   You got a life of your own      Don't even think about changing   You got a life of your own      Why don't they understand   Our feelings are sincere   One day they'll be surprised   Because we are so near      To all the things they tried   To be when they were young   That's why they don't agree   And take it out on us      It's 'cause I'm happy   For the things you do for me   One day they'll realize   And wish that they were me      It's 'cause I'm happy   For the things you do for me
