Happy Rhodes (born Kimberley Tyler Rhodes on August 9, 1965) is an American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and electronic musician with a four-octave vocal range.
Born Kimberley Tyler Rhodes but called "Happy" since infancy, she legally changed her name to Happy Tyler Rhodes at age 16. Through her father, Vernon H. Rhodes Jr., Rhodes is a distant relative of Cecil Rhodes and her first name "Kimberley" is after the Kimberley diamond mines. Her middle name "Tyler" is after the American actress Mary Tyler Moore, who was a friend of Rhodes' mother, Susan D. Stamper, while both took dance classes at the New York City Ballet. Rhodes' maternal grandfather Dave Stamper wrote songs for the Ziegfeld Follies of 1913 through 1931 and composed the music for several other Broadway shows. A family legend claims that Stamper wrote the well-known song "Shine On, Harvest Moon" in 1903 for Nora Bayes when he was working as her Vaudeville piano accompanist, but sold the rights and credit to Bayes and her husband Jack Norworth. Rhodes' parents divorced when she was young. Rhodes has two brothers who are twins.
I learn I learn
I learn I learn
Many things Many things
The hard way The easy way
I know many things about you
You never knew I knew
I want to be I want to be
Wise enough Closer to
To see ahead Lying dead
I don't need to live the same pain
Over and over again
Because I learn
once is enough
once is enough
once is enough
because I learn
once is enough
once is enough
oh once is quite enough
oh once is enough
once is quite
once is quite enough
I love I've made
I love My heart
Harder than Painfully
Most do Too true
I take my lessons well
And so when
They lie to me
I can tell
Because I learn
once is enough
once is enough
once is enough
because I learn
once is enough
once is enough
oh once is quite enough
oh once is enough
once is quite
once is quite enough
I take my lessons well
And so when
They lie to me
I can tell
