I Don't Want to Be Happy Lyrics


I married my high school drama queen
She pulled the curtains over me
Then it was, I now pronounce you a one act fool
I've been sitting here wishing for my pot of gold
And my ship to come on in
But the motherload is just another load of shit
That I've been sinking in
Say goodbye to greener pastures
Living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue?
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you
Now, it's Oprah and Sally and how the world turns
And the big time money that I'll never earn
When only the sun goes down, the party's over

If misery loves company
Then, baby you and I were meant to be
Tomorrow's turning out to be a beautiful day, yeah
Say goodbye to greener pastures
Living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you
We settle for poor connection
Got it down to imperfection
