Meshell Ndegéocello
Thankful
[Verse 1]
Just wanna be happy
Motherfuckers like fancy things
Big houses
Big cars
Like movie stars
Gotta have everything
Numb myself to the suffering

[Chorus]
Just wanna be happy
And thankful
Not just
Try to get through
Just wanna be happy
Thankful
Not just
Try to get through

[Verse 1]
Should I lie?
Should I cheat?
Turn on my TV
Tell me what I want
What i need
I lose my faith sometimes
I lose my faith sometimes, yeah
So much suffering for
Fancy cars
Big houses
Everything
I lose my faith sometimes
I lose my faith sometimes, yeah
[Chorus]
Just want to be happy
And thankful
Not just
Try to get through
Just want to be happy
And thankful
Just want to be happy
And thankful
Try to get through

[Bridge]
You're all I need
Lay your burden down
Ease my sadness

[Verse 3]
I lose my faith sometimes
I lose faith sometimes
Just trying to get through
I lose faith sometimes
You're all I need
Lay your burden down
I lose faith sometimes
You're all I need
I'm thankful
That I feel you
Ease your sadness
You're all I need
Lay your burden down
Ease my sadness
You're all I need
Lay my burden down
I laid my burden down
