美國Ｒ＆Ｂ紅星［瑪麗布萊姬］──嘻哈靈魂／節奏藍調名曲──［Be Happy／要快樂］

How can I love somebody else

If I cant love myself enough to know

When its time,

Time to let go

Sing

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

I ask for the sign

From the sweet Lord above

I know the answer is in front of me

But when you think youre in love

You only see what you wanna see

And all I see is me for you and you for me

Oh I cannot hide the way I feel inside (No I dont know why)

I dont know why but every day I wanna cry (Every day I wanna cry)

If I give you one more try to these rules, will you abide?

And if I mean anything to you, would it make everything all right?

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

I just wanna be so, so, happy

But the answer lies in me

I do believe

That we can be happy

I said I wanna be happy, yeah

Life is too short

To be tryin to play some games

Now take some time and think about

If its really worth losing me

Why must it be this way

Why do you have to play with my mind

All the time

Help me sing it (All I really want is for me to be happy)

Oh, just help me sing it (All I really want is for me to be happy)

Yeah (All I really want is for me to be happy)

Oh you know I wanna be happy, yeah yeah (All I really want is for me to be happy)

All I really want is to be happy (I dont wanna have to worry about nothin no more)

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet (Said I wanna be, said I wanna be, said I wanna be)

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet (I said I wanna be happy)

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet (To find a love thats mine, oh itll be so fine)

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

All I really want is to be happy

And to find a love thats mine

It would be so sweet

１９９４年１１月底　２３歲的美國黑人節奏藍調紅星瑪麗布萊姬（Mary J Blige）發行第二張專輯［My Life］

不但獲得好評　商業反應也良好

登上美國排行榜＃７　與上張大碟［What’s 411］一樣, 賣出三白金

隔年瑪麗並以［My Life］提名葛萊美最佳R&B專輯

鞏固她在R&B樂界的巨星地位

首支主打為秋天推出的［Be Happy］

此曲由瑪麗, 製作人Sean Combs與他人合寫

Sean Combs與POKE（The Trackmasters）將其製作成一首融合Hip-Hop Soul與R&B的歌曲

此曲取樣Curtis Mayfield的［You’re So Good To Me］與馬文蓋（Marvin Gaye）的［I Want You］

［Be Happy］登上美國單曲榜＃２９　成為瑪麗第三首Top４０歌曲

另外R&B榜＃６

在英國則拿到排行榜＃３０

［Be Happy］是布萊姬事業的名作之一
