You were an ace in school
Top of the class, a teacher's jewel
For you everything was right
Get up in the morning and sleep at night
But something went wrong
You
You could be happy
You could be happy yeah
You could be happy like me
Take a look at me now
You were an old general
First in line and first in cool
You were a winner
You were a saint but that doesn't matter
Something went wrong
You
You could be happy
You could be happy yeah
You could be happy like me
Take a look at me now
You
You could be happy
You could be happy yeah
You could be happy like me
Take a look at me now
You were an ace in school
Top of the class, a teacher's jewel
For you everything was right
Get up in the morning and sleep at night
But something went wrong
You
You could be happy yeah
You could be happy yeah
You could be happy like me
Take a look at me now
