I Am So Happy That

My Mother Always Told Me, Even If A Song Has Been Done A Thousand Times, You Can Still Bring Something Of Your Own To It. I'd Like To Think I Did That.

They Said That Etta James Is Still Vulgar. I Said, Oh, How Dare Them Say I'm Still Vulgar. I'm Vulgar Because I Dance In The Chair. What Would They Want Me To Do? Want Me To Just Be Still Or Something Like That? I've Got To Do Something.

I Really Turned Into, You Know, The Real Street Kid. I Was Kind Of Like A Runaway, But I Had A Mother, You Know What I Mean, And I Had A Place To Stay.

A Few Years Ago, I Thought, I'll Never Make It. I Started To Go To The Doctor To Help Me Lose Weight.

When I Look Out At The People And They Look At Me And They're Smiling, Then I Know That I'm Loved. That Is The Time When I Have No Worries, No Problems.
