Are You Happy
Discovering Joy in Love: Iron Butterfly's Are You Happy
Lyrics
Are you happy?
Asking a direct question about the listener's emotional state, inquiring if they are happy.
I met a pretty girl on a date last night,
Describing a recent encounter with a charming girl during a date the night before.
And let me tell you now, she was groovy.
Expressing admiration for the girl, using the slang term "groovy" to convey her appeal.
And i kissed the pretty girl, and i held her tight,
Recounting a romantic moment of kissing and holding the girl tightly.
Let me tell you now, she was groovy.
Reiterating the girl's attractiveness with the term "groovy."
And now, no matter what i try to do
Reflecting on the difficulty of focusing on other things as thoughts continually return to someone else.
My mind's drifting back to you.
Expressing the persistence of thoughts returning to a specific person.
Are you happy?
Repeating the initial question about the listener's happiness.
And now, no matter what i try to do
Reiterating the challenge of diverting one's thoughts away from a particular person.
My mind's drifting back to you.
Highlighting the continuous return of thoughts to the same individual.
Are you happy?
Posing the question of happiness again, possibly emphasizing its importance.
To you.
Addressing the person directly and asking about their happiness.
Are you happy?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's happiness.
Oh, i love you.
Expressing love for the listener.
Please, tell me now that you're happy,
Making a request for confirmation of the listener's happiness.
Please, tell me now that you're mine.
Making a similar request for confirmation but also expressing possession with "you're mine."
Please, tell me now that you're happy,
Repeating the request for confirmation of happiness.
Please, tell me now that you're mine.
Repeating the request for confirmation of both happiness and possession.
I want to tell you i love you.
Declaring love for the listener.
Are you happy?
Repeating the initial question about the listener's happiness.
