Michael Franks - I'd Rather Be Happy Than Right lyrics
Your rating:
When you meet someone who inspires your worst angry voice Just retreat-happiness is always a much better choice Why chagrin? If you're in- Sisting on the last word It's quite over-rated Like our mothers taught: Unkind words we just ought not to Hey, everything you're saying is so contra-bliss Okay, I think I can see where you're going with this True, we have had our differences there all along But who, who of us can say he has never been wrong? Like the sky, this is all shadows and light I guess I would rather be happy than right Every day life is like a mixture of sugar and sand On the way we are given lessons we misunderstand If I fail To no avail Still I always try to be Like the wise ant who Takes the sugar home And just leaves the sand alone
