I'm So Happy
The Jackson 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, my sweet darlin' I still love you
So I'm makin' up with you
Tears in our eyes, testify
Breaking up is hard to do

(The way you kiss my lips)
The way you kiss me and love me (love me)
Let me come runnin' to your door
(The way you let me in)
The way you let me in and hug me
(Let's me know we're forever more)

I'm so happy I gave my love back to you (back to you)
I'm so happy you saved your love for me, darlin'
I'm so happy we love each other

Little heartaches (heartaches) we go through
Would be a blessing in disguise
Your patience (patience) is a virtue
Now can dry each other's eyes

(Come on and kiss me)
Come on and kiss me and love me (love me)
Now that our hearts feel happiness
Because I need you (need you)
And you need me
(To find our way through lonely nights)

I'm so happy I gave my love back to you (back to you)
I'm so happy you saved your love for me




I'm so happy we love each other
I'm so happy I feel like singing
