Thankful for What I've Got - Barbara Lewis

I’m thankful for what I’ve got

Don’t pay no mind to what I almost had

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 no troubles, baby

And I’m a long way from feelin' sad

I ain’t got no money either

But that’s something that don’t really matter

I’m thankful for what I’ve got

Don’t pay no mind to what I almost had

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’s not enough hours in one day

To sit and watch all my dreams come true

Every day is a sunshine day

Probably 'cause I’m happy and not because of you

And that is something I can surely be proud of

Now I have found while I’ve grown

What I really want in life for me

And it’s not the dream or dream-come-true

I got the one I wanted, got the one I need

And I couldn’t be more happy now — I really, really mean it

(La-dee-ya-dee-ya)

(La-dee-ya-doo-ya)

(La-dee-ya-doo-doo)

(La-dee-ya-dee-ya)

(La-dee-ya-doo)

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 almost had

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
