(Bill Anderson)

Maybe I don't love you quite as much
As I believe I love you, baby
But don't tell me 'cause lovin' you's
A happy state of mind.

Maybe I don't need you quite as much
As I profess to need you, baby
But don't leave me needin' you's
A happy state of mind.

And who's to say anyway
That love is not a game we play
Why's it always gotta be considered
A condition of the heart. hmm hmm

As long as I feel warm inside
Wanted, filled and satisfied
Who am I to be denied this feelin'
Be it love or be it just a happy state of mind.

Maybe it's just something I've imagined
In the hours when I'm sleepin'
But don't wake me cause dreamin's
A happy state of mind.

Maybe I just gotta have somebody
And you're close and you're somebody
But don't leave me, you've put me in
A happy state of mind.

And who's to say anyway
That love is not a game we play
Why's it always gotta be considered
A condition of the heart. hmm hmm

As long as I feel warm inside
Wanted, filled and satisfied
Who am I to be denied this feelin'
Be it love or be it just a happy state of mind.

You've put me in a happy state of mind
Lovin' you's a happy state of mind
Havin' you's a happy state of mind
Don't take away my happy state of mind...
