When people see you glowing
Because it's truly showing,
That expression is more than words can say.
People try to rip a marriage apart.
Others won't even let you start,
Doing anything to strip happiness away.

CHORUS
-------

I want it, you can't have it,
I won't let you follow through.
What gives you the right to happiness
While I'm feeling blue?
You're not allowed to find it
Before I do,
That very special someone
Who loves you.

People can't stand to see you smile.
They will go that extra mile,
Anything to upset the apple cart.
Most will try and bring you down,
They would rather see you with a frown.
It's much easier to see life fall apart.

CHORUS
-------

I want it, you can't have it,
I won't let you follow through.
What gives you the right to happiness
While I'm feeling blue?
You're not allowed to find it
Before I do.
That very special someone
Who loves you.

Your ex's soon ring your doorbell
When your life is going well.
The story always drips of irony.
Why do others try and manipulate
You , when things are going great?
Funny how others know what's best for me.

CHORUS
-------

I want it, you can't have it,
I won't let you follow through.
What gives you the right to happiness
While I'm feeling blue?
You're not allowed to find it
Before I do,
That very special someone
Who loves you.

Most are bitter because of their past,
About relationships that didn't last.
Or, they're not happy where they are.
Misery truly does loves company.
They just can't stand to see you happy.
They would rather have you wear their scar.

CHORUS
-------

I want it, you can't have it,
I won't let you follow through.
What gives you the right to happiness
While I'm feeling blue?
You're not allowed to find it
Before I do,
That very special someone
Who loves you.
