Feel like someone's put the hurt on me,
And it's making me feel sad
Feel like someone's trying to turn me away
From the good times to the bad

Feel like someone's trying to teach me
What is wrong from what is right
And I can't belong to everyone;
Let me stay with you tonight

And I hope it makes somebody happy
Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy

This river's hard enough for me to swim,
But there's nowhere left to hide
I ain't no swimmer but I won't give in
Till I reach the other side

Chorus

'Cause it's all to make somebody happy
It takes us all to make somebody happy
