Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion, love is a dream
But I don't know what it is
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion, love is a dream
But I don't know what it is 'cause
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
Life's an illusion, love is the dream
But I don't know what it is
Everyone's saying things to me
But I know it's okay, okay
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
Life's an illusion, love is a dream
Life's an illusion, love is the dream
Life's the illusion, love is a dream
Life's the illusion, love is the dream
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays, days
Bet you are tired of being upset
Always wanting something you never can get
Life's no illusion, love's not a dream
Now, I know just what it is
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
