I'd Rather Be Happy Than Right歌詞

So; Let me tell you about marriage now.
Well I says this and she says that.
I say white and she says black.
We're carrying on like a dog and a cat,
And staying up half of the night.
Well you can pick your battles and you might even win
But one thing i've learned time and time again-
Comprimising ain't neccesarily giving in
And I'd rather be happy than right!
She wants to paint the house, you better just go along.
You'll get used to that color- Suck it up! Move on!
That opinion you have, yeah probably wrong. No need to get all uptight.
Well I'm either getting older or wiser or lazy. You can call me whipped, and yeah, well maybe. But i'm still a man and call me crazy, I'd rather be happy than right!

Well you can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em
It's a mighty fragile ecosystem
It really ain't all that hard a decision, just let them sleeping dogs lie.
Well, happy wife, happy life. And if i wanna be happy later on tonight, I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy than right
Well the one thing I've learned bout this marriage thing, is the key to success is in the editing.
Before you say something stupid, stop and think.
You may wanna zip it up tight.
When it's all said and done I really do love her, i Just bite my lip round her sister and her mother.
I might be thinking one thing but I'll say another cuz I'd rather be happy than right.

Well you can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em
It's a mighty fragile ecosystem
It really ain't all that hard a decision, just let them sleeping dogs lie.
Well, happy wife, happy life. And if i wanna be happy later on tonight, I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy than right
Ba ba ba da de bedum be da baba bababa
Well sometimes i forget what we're fighting for and you gotta lose some battles if you wanna win the war,
But i just dont feel like arguing no more
So imma raising my white flag high.
And i'm satisfied cuz i know deep down she really don't know what she's talking about, but I'll let her think she's got it all figured out cuz i'd rather be happy than right.

Well you can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em
It's a mighty fragile ecosystem
It really ain't all that hard a decision, just let them sleeping dogs lie.
Well, happy wife, happy life. And if i wanna be happy later on tonight, I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy than right
I think I'll let her think she's won the fight, cuz I'd rather be happy, rather be happy, rather be happy than right
