Lookin' for a Happy Life Lyrics

Another forgetful morning face has taken its place
The chair which stood beside the door is empty once more of joy
Little girls dressed in white
Made up to look right
But I keep looking round, round
The local population still encourages boys
........ to know (his?) (pose in?) grace .............
Looking for an easy (life? wife?)
A girl who's on her own
But I keep looking round, round

Would you like to know where you're going?
Would you like to know where you're at?
Would you like to know what you're doing?
If you could, would you look back?
Would you like to know where you're going?
Would you like to know where you're at?
Would you like to know what you're doing?
If you could, would you look back?

I've grown a liking for this place (........)
Sugar tastes much sweeter than before
I've found the joy of love
Kindness in her face
(.............) (no place?)
I need not look around
Would you like to know where you're going?
Would you like to know where you're at?
Would you like to know what you're doing?
If you could, would you look back?

Would you like to know where you're going?
Would you like to know where you're at?
Would you like to know what you're doing?
If you could, would you look back?
