Helen Reddy The Happy Girls Lyrics

The Happy Girls Lyrics

Sally met him in the war, back in 1944
He took her home to the states
His
buddies thought that she was great

Subway sally’s 51
Her man is
gone, the dreams are done
She rides by night the Brooklyn train
Sleeps by
day to hide the pain

Lonely women of the world
We’re the happy
girls
Lonely heroes of the world
Seek the happy girls

Nancy saw
him on the street
His shoes were shined, his suit was neat
She couldn’t
see his broken mind
Behind the mask of being kind

He sleeps inside the
iron bars
Nancy’s smile can’t hide the scars
Her daughter’s grown,
there’s no one home
She cries all night, she’s all alone

Lonely
women of the world
We’re the happy girls
Lonely heroes of the
world
Seek the happy girls

To tell the truth there’s no end in
sight
Mr Lonely always calls at night
Let’s hold on tight until the
morning light

Terry’s gonna meet him soon
Today at school, maybe
noon
I hope for her it turns out right
I know she’s got a date
tonight

Had my ups, had my downs
Truth was lost but truth was
found
This I’ve learned, the world still turns
We all get bruised, we
all get burned

Lonely women of the world
We’re the happy
girls
Lonely heroes of the world
Seek the happy girls

Happy girls,
happy girls, happy girls
