The Temptations
Happy Landing
[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
You better beware, my friends all told me
When they saw that I was falling for you
You better beware now, they told me
That girl ain't gonna be true
She'll have you walking with your head in the air
Have you thinking that she really, really care
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Then-a, then she'll let you down, she'll really let you down
She's a girl with no understanding
And when she's getting tired of you hanging around
She'll let you drop and say have a happy landing
(Have a happy landing)
[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
Oh but I fell for you anyway
I didn't care what my friends had to say
'Cause I was so glad that I had found you
I build my whole world right around you
You had me hooked on a line for awhile
Have me thinking you'd be mine for awhile
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Then-a, then you let me down, you really let me down
'Cause you're a girl with no understanding
And when you're getting tired of me hanging around
You let me drop and said, come on, have a happy landing
(Have a happy landing)
[Interlude: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
*chatter*
Sounding good, baby
Temptations right here
Look... (Hey)
[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks]
So now you want me to take you back
Stay away for a long, long time
You broke all the laws of loving
Now you're, you're coming back to the scene of your crime
Gonna keep you in suspense for awhile, yeah
Keep you hanging on the fence for awhile
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Then-a, then I'll let you down, I really let you down
I ain't gonna have no understanding
And when I get tired of you hanging around
I'll let you drop and say, girl, you've had your happy landing
(Have a happy landing)
[Outro: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Have a happy landing now
(You better have a happy landing)
I've got to put you down
(You better have a happy landing)
Don't want you hanging around now
(You better have a happy landing)
You know that you better
(You better have a happy landing)
You know that you better
(You better have a happy landing)
So come on and have
(You better have a happy landing)
Don't you know that you ought to
(You better have a happy landing)
