I got the cloud under my feet (ooh)
And I'm high on living this life I've been given
'Cause I got you (ooh)
And it's a feeling in my body
And it's a fever in my soul (in my soul)
Happiness floating all inside me (inside me)
From my head to my toes
Sweet (sweet)
Sweet, ohh (sweet)
Sweet, yeah (sweet)
'Cause I got you, my life's sweet
You can't get me down (you can't get me down)
'Cause I'm ten thousand feet of the ground (so high)
All you haters, see you later
I've got no time for you now, goodbye
Too busy soaking in the good vibes (yeah)
My heart is bursting at the scene (bursting at the scene)
'Cause for the first time in a long time (long time)
I know what happiness means (yeah, yeah)
