Happily Ever After

Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to love you too hard
Happily ever after.

Someone to need you too much
Someone to read you too well
Someone to bleed you of all
The things you don't want to tell
That's happily ever after
Ever, ever, ever after
In hell.

Somebody always there
Sitting in the chair
Where you want to sit
Always, always
Somebody always there
Wanting you to share
Just a little bit
Always, always.

Then see the pretty girls
Smiling everywhere
From the ads and the TV sets
And why should you sweat?
What do you get?
One day of grateful
For six of regret!

With
Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to bore you to death
Happily ever after.

Someone you have to know well
Someone you have to show how
Someone you have to allow
The things you'd never allow
That's happily ever after
Ever, ever, ever after
'Til now.

So quick!
Get a little car, take a little drive
Make a little love, see a little flick
Do a little work, take a little walk
Watch a little TV
And click!
Make a little love, do a little work
Get a little drunk,
You've got one little trip, seventy years
Spread it around!
Take your pick!
Buy a little here, spend a little there
Smoke a little pot for a little kick
Waste a little time, make a little love
Show a little feeling.

But why should you try?
Why not, sure, feel a little lonely?
But fly! Why not fly!

With
No one to hold you too close
No one to hurt you too deep
No one to love you too hard
Happily ever after.

No one you have to know well
No one you have to show how
No one you have to allow
The things you'd never allow
That's happily ever after
Ever, ever, ever after
For now.

Ever, ever, ever after
Ever, ever, ever, ever after
Ever, ever, ever after.
