Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby, the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby, the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
So happy together
And how is the weather?
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together

The 1967 hit song Happy Together by The Turtles is actually about unrequited love and wishful thinking, rather than a real, happy relationship.
- It is a daydream: The song opens with the line "Imagine me and you, I do," showing that the narrator is only picturing a life with the person.
- Based on hypotheticals: The lyrics use conditional phrases like "if I should call you up" and "if I should be so lucky," indicating they are not actually together.
- Yearning over reality: The singer wants this person so badly that he escapes into an intense fantasy of domestic bliss because the reality of not having them is too painful.
- The contrast: The upbeat, joyful chorus ("So happy together") represents his desperate hope and the idealized perfection in his head, contrasting with the lonely uncertainty of the verses
