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
