I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead I'm thankful for what I've got She's got herself a real life better She's got herself a real life better I ain't got enough time To spend alone and feelin' sad I ain't got nobody to aim for But that's somethin' that don't really matter I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better She's got herself a real life better There just ain't enough hours in one day To sit and watch all my dreams come true Every day is a sunshine day I've got because I'm happy, not because I worry and that is something I can surely be proud of Now I've found how I've grown All I really want in life for me and it's not a dream, a dream come true I've got the one I want and I've got the one I need and I couldn't be more happy now, I really really mean it (instrumental and background scat singing) (She's got herself a real life better She's got herself a real life better) I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I've not instead I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better She's got herself a real life better I've got myself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Oh yeah...
