Why should I be happy?
Give me one reason why.
There's a smile on my face.
But my heart aches inside.
Why should I not be blue?
Give me one reason why.
Give me a reason to smile.
Tell me not to cry.
Why should I smile?
Give me one reason why.
Tell me something positive.
But don't tell me a lie.
Why should I not be in dispair?
Give me one reason why.
Lift me from this state I'm in.
Give me a reason to try.
Why should I be happy?
Give me one reason why.
Tell me that you love me.
That our friendship will never die.
