Happy Together
The Turtles · 1967
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- So happy together
- If I should call you up, invest a dime
- And you say you belong to me
- And ease my mind
Echo the hook
- Me and you, and you and me
- No matter how they tossed the dice
- It had to be
- The only one for me is you
