How To Get Happy

lyrics

I got a needle and some thread on the night stand by my bed
I thread the needle and pinch my cheeks stitch a smile that will last for weeks.
I got some glue and a bit of paint in the top drawer of my desk
A dab of glue on each eyelid and some paint will do the trick.

I never thought of myself as bad company
Till you marched into my life and showed me what I don’t want to see
What Im down no one wants to be with me
So this is how I get happy.

I got a mask and some new clothes and some pick-me-ups for my lows
So next time Im in town I wont bring you down.
Cause I can’t be myself at all around anyone these days
I don’t know how to really change
I don’t have a poker face.

I never thought of myself as bad company
Till you marched into my heart and showed me what I don’t want to see
When Im sad no one wants to be with me
So this is how I get happy.

You asked, ” How you doin’? “
Im doin’ fine, look at the size of my smile!
“Yeah, but you’re cryin darlin?”
Yeah, I know
The whiskey makes them tears flow.

I never thought of myself as bad company
Till you marched into my life and showed me what I don’t want to see
I know no one wants to be with me
So this is how I get happy.
