when i look around and see
all the pain and misery
i'm left sad and feeling blue
cos there nothing i can do
so i have to get away
from the pain i see each day
in a world that makes me cry
i'm only happy when i.m high

don't bring me down
i'm only happy when i'm high
don't bring me down
i'm only happy when i'm high
don't bring me down
i'm only happy when i'm high

you may have the point of view
that im wrong in what i do
that im weak and immature
but i know one thing for sure
if every boy and every girl
all got stoned around the world
we'd all let live and not let die
we'd all be happy cos were high

don't bring me down
i'm only happy when i'm high
don't bring me down
i'm only happy when i'm high
don't bring me down
i'm only happy when i'm high

when i'm high
