MY REAL HAPPINESS
(Eddie Curtis)

as recorded by Connie Francis
1962


They say a banker gets a thrill
Upon a million dollar bill,
But money's somethin' I don't miss,
I'd rather have someone to kiss,
'Cause my happiness , my real happiness, 
Is to love and be loved all the time, 
oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh!

They say a lion gets delight
A-roarin' through the jungle night.
I'd rather sing sweet melodies
A-to the one I wanna please,
'Cause my happiness , my real happiness, 
Is to love and be loved all the time, 
oh-oh, oh-oh!

My heart is young and fancy free,
And love is number one with me!

I wish the banker many thrills
And many million dollar bills,
I wish the lion much delight
A-roarin' through the jungle night,
But my happiness , my real happiness,
Is to love and be loved all the time!

My happiness , my real happiness,
Is to love and be loved all the time,
To love and be loved all the time,
To love and be loved all the time!
