Why Can’t We Be Happy

Ike Turner

[Verse 1]

I'm so full of love yet I'm sad everyday
How can we keep on livin' this way?
Now, we are in a war, people dyin' everyday
With a little love, it'll all fade away

[Chorus 1]

Can't we all be happy, the way it used to be?
Love one another and let this world be free

[Verse 2]

Hippies in the streets, they're learnin' how to roam
And the Black folks are in the ghetto, they're even burnin' their home
But they are tryin' to get a message for the whole world to see
How happy we all could be if we all were free

[Chorus 2]

So, why can't we be happy, the way it used to be?
Love one another and let this world be free

[Verse 3]

People are hatin' more and more everyday
Understandin' is gettin' slowly further away
Now, what's gonna happen when it all comes to a head
There'll be no world to live in, 'cause we'll all be dead

[repeat Chorus 2]

[instrumental; scatting]
