Happy - Natasha Bedingfield



Happy – Natasha Bedingfield

Ooh.. Oooooohhh.
Landlord’s knocking at my door cussing me out
Got laid off my job the night before
Can’t figure how
I’m gonna fix tomorrow away
If today’s still a mess
Can u tell me what’s the point man,
It all seems meaningless
I wish that I could step away and breathe
This world’s trying to swallow me
Clear away the clouds inside my head

Someone just tell me
[Chorus:]
That it’s ok now
What are you worried about

Got my dreams, got my life, got my love
Got my friends got the sunshine above
Why am I making this hard on myself
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy

People lie, people hide, people cry, people fight

And they don’t know why
If fear is all that we should fear
Then what are we so afraid of
Cause fear is only in our heads

Someone please say...

[Chorus]

Any day I’ll go mad thinking bad
Everyone is against me and the world wants to fight me
Preparing to battle an enemy unseen
During my stressing I’m blinded to the lesson
That could be a blessing if I’d be confessing that the enemy
I’m trying to beat is hiding inside of me

But it’s ok now...what are you worrying about...

[Chorus]

Keep your grind on girl...it’s your love, it’s your world... [Repeat 2x]

[Chorus]

    However, there are something make me feel happy- my friends! when i am sad, they would cheer me up :) they always stand by me no matter what happened.
    The line that i like the most is " Got my friends got the sunshine above" because this would cheer me up :D also it makes me think of my friends ~_~

    In my daily life, the most thing that make me to feel really stressful is that I cannot figure out my future. I don't know what will I be in the future. Will there be difficulties? Although there are many people always tell me that it will be all fine, I just cannot believe in myself
    However, every time when I can sit down and enjoy my free time, listen to songs or eat something I like, it really makes me happy.
    I think in the song, my favourite lyrics is "Keep your grind on girl...it's your love,it's your world..." It is because it reminds me to take control of my life, and don't let others to control myself, just do what I think is right. :)

    In my life, the stresses are usually come from school. For example, exams, tests,or sometimes friends also make me feel stressful. But for now, my stress maybe from the NSS selection.

    And what makes me happy are friends, family, computer, funny video, etc.

    " Got my dream, got my life, got my love. Got my friends got sunshine above" is the line of the song I like the most.

    1. The homework and the school work make me have a lot of stress in my life. The homework and the school work like never end.

    2. The jokes and the song that I love can let me feel happy. It is very funny. After I listened to that I will happy for a whole day.

    3. I like the line 'When there's so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy.'. It let me to think that there is a lot of things around us can make we feel happy. Why we need to only focus on the bad things and make us feel unhappy.

    Someyimes, I feel stress because of Exams,homework and some down moments stresses me

    In fact,having dinner with my family after a day of busy working is the happiest thing for me . Moreover, going to church to meet my dearest angels also make me happy too. Anyway, having angels all around me is my honour.

    I like"When there's so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy" the most because it is very meaningful and inspired me that no matter what, I have to be strong and be happy all the time.

    In our daily life, everyone sometimes have many unhappy things, stresses given by parents and school.
    For me, I also had stresses. It was also given by parents and school. Sometimes about the tests, results....... These made me nervous sometimes, didn't know what to do......stop or continuous......That is a question that I always think about it when i have problem or stresses.
    Although sometimes stresses can make me unhappy, I did many things to make me more happy. For example: watching movies, go shopping, play WII or NDS. Play is the thing that I do when I have stresses.
    "Everyone is against me and the world wants to fight me".I think this sentence is very meaningful. And sometimes I also think that I also like that.

    I think the stresses out in my life are mainly about the school things. I need to finish the homework till very late everyday and wake up early in the morning. On the other hand, there have some quizzes and tests, that's make me have no time to revise and feel very stressful of doing so much things.
    However, my friends and I will share our feelings with each other. So that, we can help each other to pass through the difficulties and be more happy.

    I got a lot of stresses from my homework and from my parents. I don't have enough time to do the homework and my parents blame on me.

    "Friends", going on to the internet and listen to songs can make me feel happy~ Internet can let me know more about the things happening around the world. Music can help me to relax and friends can make me feel happy.

    I like the lines of "If fear is all that we should fear Then what are we so afraid of" because it is meaningful and can cheer people up not to scare about something

    I got stresses by having exam, doing any homeworks, dictations, UT...the only subject that will not give me any stress is computer.

    I can be happy at listen songs,using computer, hang out with friends and playing with my dogs.
    If I win a round of deal, I'll be very happy too.

    I love People lie, people hide, people cry, people fight', I think it shows the bad side of human being.

    1) In my life, most of the stresses come from school. For example, the homework, the result of the exam, the presentation, the tests etc. And don’t really have enough time to finish all of them.

    2) My friends, family, music, eating, even sleeping makes me feel happy. I am very happy that I know them, I love them a lot.

    3) “Got my dreams, got my life, got my love” It is because friends, life even love are very important to my. They can make me feel happy and optimistic.

    I think most of the stress is come from the homework. I don't have enough time to do all my homework sometime.
    It makes me feel happy while I'm doing the things that I like to do. I feel happy when I am playing with my friends too, we always have many funny things happen.
    In the song I like "When there's so many beatiful reason I have to be happy". It is because I agree with it, when I'm doing my things, playing with ny friends, shopping, etc. All thibngs can make me feel very happy.

    I think in my life, i don't have lots of stresses. My stressesare only from my study, it is because all my consins and slibings are good at study. And i am the worst one, my parents always need to work hard. And i don't want to be the worst one , so i need to work harder and harder. But i can't do it, it is because if i have exam i will be very nervous, and my mark will be very low.And sometimes, some of the things i am what is the meaning , but i don't know how to express or expain it.

    Dancing , playing piano or drawing make my happy. these activities are fun and interesting.
    Every time when i do one of these activities, i will feel very happy.

    In the song , The line i like the most is" During my stressing I’m blinded to the lesson
    That could be a blessing if I’d be confessing that the enemy"It is because it is meaningful and this line just like discribe me.

    1. Most of my stresses are come from homework, exam, test etc. Everything can be my stress because I can be nervous on everything.

    2. Playing can make me happy such as playing basketball, playing game console and `playing sexophone. `Play' can makes me happy. Of course, that `play' must be interesting, is not boring.

    3.In the song, I like `When there's so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy.' Although you may feel unhappy because of some reason, at the same time, there still have some beautiful reasons can make you happy. What a meaningful line in the song.

    I think in my life, the stresses are homework, projects, essays and etc. Maybe using another sentence to discribe is "Studing is my stresses!" I think this problem is just for our student.
    I think the family members and idols can make me happy. As when I am sad, they could encourage me a lot. The family members always can cheer me up from their care. And the idols can make me happy because of their great performances and meaningful songs.
    "When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy" this line of song I liked the most. It is because it make us know when we are unhappy, think of many beautiful reasons to be happy. It is meaningful.

    1. Academic things always stresses me out in life, it is complicated and messy but I think one day I can work it out.

    2. I think basketball can make happy, it made me feeling confident and have more friends in the court. It just made me complete.

    3. I'm trying to beat is hiding inside of me. This line is very charming and I felt the same.

    Dear all,

    Thanks for the comments.

    Just some feedback (also non-countable noun):
    Some non-countable nouns: homework, work and stress.

    Being a teacher is not easy, but being a good one is really tough. And that's what stresses me out the most.

    To make myself happy, I do exercise, play football, go to the gym etc. Sometimes, just finding some of my friends to chat with can be a great stress relief. Unfortunately, teaching and studying means I cannot do these as often as I hope.

    The line I like the most is: "the enemy
    I’m trying to beat is hiding inside of me" I really believe that if you can control your mind, you can control your own emotions. This means that we can decide whether we're happy or not.
