You spend all day lying on the couch walk in your boxers'round the house Looking at your pale ugly face Enough to make a mirror break More half asleep than half awake complaining that your body aches feeling sorry for yourself won't get you anywhere
(Chorus) So I'm singing you a happy song Just to cheer you up When you got it rough So I'm singing you a happy song Just to cheer you up I know how it sucks Yeah I'm singing you a happy song It can't be that bad Why you look so sad 'Cause better times ahead
Your room smells like bad Mexican Pull up those blinds let air come in Your promises and blah-blah-blah Won't fix the strings on my guitar We've been friends for much too long For me to watch you carry on like this I miss the you I knew you'd do the same for me
(Chorus) So I'm singing you a happy song Just to cheer you up I know how it sucks Yeah I'm singing you a happy song It can't be that bad There's better times ahead So I'm singing you a happy song It can't be that bad Why you look so sad Watching shapes in the clouds all day It's ok sometimes we make mistakes Let it go-o-o if it's out of you control Shrug it off, like it's a silly joke
(Chorus) So I'm singing you a happy song Just to cheer you up I know how it sucks Yeah I'm singing you a happy song It can't be that bad There's better times ahead Yeah I'm singing you a happy song It can't be that bad Why you look so sad There's better times ahead Oh... Better time ahead Oh... Better times ahead Oh... Better times ahead
