When the Boy’s Happy (The Girl’s Happy Too) Lyrics

Every day I kiss my baby
Just because it drives him crazy
And I would do most anything
To make him feel just like a king
'Cause when the boy's happy, the girl's happy too

I say I love him when I hold him
Heaven knows how much I told him
I always treat him tenderly
Because he means the world to me
'Cause when the boy's happy, the girl's happy too

I know how to break him up
I know how to make him care
I know how to shake him up
I just run my fingers through his hair
Yeah, yeah

[Instrumental break]

I could never live without him
That is why I worry about him
He comes to me 'cause he knows that I'll
Do all the things that'll make him smile
'Cause when the boy's happy, the girl's happy too
When the boy's happy
The girl is happy too, oh yeah
Whey the boy's happy
The girl is happy too

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
