[Verse 1]
When you've had enough
When you've got it bad enough and you can't let go
When it comes to blows
And you start to overflow
But you can't get home
It's a subtle kind of cruel
It taps my spine
Here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking please

[Chorus]
Don't you want to be happy with me?
Don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've gotta try

[Verse 2]
December's all alone and he's calling me on the phone
But he sounds so cold
He says he loves me so
But how would I ever know?
Certain words grow old
It's a vicious kind of catch
It sides me blind
Now I'm out of my mind
I wanna scream
[Chorus]
Don't you want to be happy with me?
Don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've gotta try

[Bridge]
Love liked me long ago
It had a way of making everyone the same
But how the angels (how the angels)
Must laugh and sigh to hear me pleading with you
And needing you this way

[Chorus]
Oh why don't you want to be happy with me?
Don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've gotta try to stay mine all the way
Don't you want to be happy with me?
Don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
[Outro]
It's got a way of making everyone the same
It's got a way of making everyone the same
It's got a way of making everyone the same
It's got a way of making everyone the same
