The song "Happiness" by Barry Gibb is about a person who realizes the mistakes they have made in a relationship. The lyrics express remorse for lying and cheating, acknowledging that it was never intended to hurt the other person or themselves. All they had ever asked for was happiness. The protagonist of the song pleads for their love not to be taken away and to not be left alone. They confess that they think about their love more and more each day and ask to be allowed back into their partner's life. The repeated lines "Just remember I still love you and I need you so, you know I didn't mean to go" emphasize their love and the fact that their departure was a mistake. They again express their longing for happiness and the desire for the relationship to be restored. The overall meaning of the song is a plea for forgiveness and reconciliation. It reflects the regret and realization of the consequences of their actions, and the longing for happiness and love to be rediscovered in the relationship.
