Happy
Keith Richards/Mick Jagger Lyrics

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
I could never manage to save even a single dollar, and it always ended up being spent by the end of the day.

It always burned a hole in my pants.
The money I had would always be a source of restlessness until it was spent, with the temptation to spend it quickly sullying my thoughts.

Never made a school mama happy,
I never found much success in school or with authority figures like teachers.

Never blew a second chance.
Despite my inability to learn from my past, I never squandered any second chances that came my way.

I need a love to keep me happy,
I am deeply yearning for a kind of love that can truly make me happy and satisfied.

Baby, baby keep me happy.
I am addressing a lover and begging them to keep me happy.

Always took candy from strangers,
I often engaged in risky behavior to get what I wanted, like taking candy from strangers rather than buying it myself.

Didn't wanna get me no trade.
I avoided committing to any particular line of work or skillset, failing to find a passion for anything in particular.

Never want to be like papa,
I don't want to end up like my father, working tirelessly for someone else's gain every night and day.

Working for the boss ev'ry night and day.
I am reiterating my distaste for working for someone else and being at their beck and call all the time.

Never got a flash out of cocktails,
Despite partaking in many fine things, I never found cocktails to be particularly exhilarating or enjoyable.

When I got some flesh off the bone.
Even after partaking in meat dishes, even when it was the best, it always felt empty to me.

Never got a lift out of Lear jets,
Even when using luxurious airplanes like Lear Jets, I never felt particularly fulfilled or exhilarated.

When I can fly way back home.
I love being able to fly back home, where my true feelings of contentment and happiness lie.
