Without a love to call my own my life was incomplete
It seems I couldn't help but think that love was not for me
My life took on a different twist when I met me a man that I couldn't resist
I didn't know why I have missed and I'm gettin' happy oh I'm gettin' happy
Yeah yaeh I'm a gettin' happy all my lonely days're gone
I'm a gettin' happy no more lonely nights alone
I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song
And he lets me sing along I'm gettin' happy oh I'm gettin' happy

Oh the people used to talk of love and I couldn't understand
About the fire in desire of lovin' a good man
Oh but now I know just what it meant since I met me a man who was heaven's sent
Don't know where the sadness went I'm gettin' happy oh I'm gettin' happy
I'm a gettin' happy

Yeah I'm a gettin' happy
Yeah I'm a gettin' happy
