You can have all the diamonds, you can have all the gold But someday you're still gonna get old You've got to learn to get happy along the way Take some chances, allow yourself to get lost You're beautiful baby, you're the boss You've got to learn to get happy, along the way There's no road to follow Only stones left unturned You must play with fire In order to get burned Toss your misery out the door What are you waiting for? You've got to learn to get a little happy along the way It's alright to change your style It's alright to smile It's alright to get a little happy along the way Tough day at the office and worse, not at home Don't wanna talk about it, just wanna be left alone There's no joy in living, you're giving all and getting none It's a new beginning, you thought you lost, but honey you've won You can have all the diamonds, all the gold Someday we're still gonna get old We've got to learn to get happy along the way Get your hat, get your coat, babe Leave your worries on the doorstep We've got to get a little happy along the way
