U2 Happiness Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah

Love has got a hold on me.
Taking all control of me
It’s got the very soul of me.
Soul soul soul soul

Want to take you next to me?
Don’t want to be your enemy.
Don’t think this world was meant to be
No no no no

And happiness is for those who don’t really need it.

Stop talking
I’m talking to you.
Keep walking
We’ll make it through.
It’s hot here.
Not even a breeze
Trying to make friends of my enemies

Can’t hear you
There’s an echo on the line.
Not near you.
But you’re on my mind.
I’m in the desert.
But I won’t be long.
I’m here for the atomic bomb.

Yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh huh
Yeah yeah

Teacher, I’m going to have to pray.
We heard the things you have to say.
But do we have to do what we want today?

The boy that’s sitting next to me.
Cleverness the enemy.
Tell me why there needs to be?
21st century

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Happiness
Is for those who don’t really need it.

Stop talking
I’m talking to you.
Keep walking,
We’ll make it through.
It’s hot here,
Not even a breeze.
Trying to make friends of my enemies.

Can’t hear you,
There’s an echo on the line.
Not near you,
But you’re on my mind.
I’m in the desert,
But I won’t be long.
I’m here for the atomic bomb.

Tonight we can be friends,
Let’s get down on our knees,
The world won’t have to end.
Not tonight
Sugar please
Please baby please baby please!
Please baby please!
Please baby please baby please!

Hey eh eh!

Stop talking,
I’m talking to you.
Keep walking.
We’ll make it through.
It’s hot here,
Not even a breeze.
Trying to make friends of my enemies.

Can’t hear you,
There’s an echo on the line.
Not near you.
But you’re on my mind.
I’m in the desert.
But I won’t be long.
I’m here for the atomic bomb.
