happy together
Tom Mountain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So happy together
So happy together
(Are you ready!?)
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it′s only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime

And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
(Here we go!)

(Everybody shake your body!)
So happy together
