《Please Don’t Make Me Too Happy》歌词

[00:00:01] Used to be

[00:00:03] You were bad for me

[00:00:05] And every night I'd pray

[00:00:09] For you to change

[00:00:10] Then you did

[00:00:12] So it's strange

[00:00:14] When I hear myself say

[00:00:19] Please don't make me too happy

[00:00:24] Because if you do

[00:00:28] My songwriting will suffer

[00:00:31] From the bliss you'll put me through

[00:00:34] Nothing's quite as boring boring boring

[00:00:39] As two people this in love

[00:00:41] We'll be so blinded by the stars in our eyes

[00:00:46] We won't see the stars above

[00:00:49] We'll see rainbows in a naked sky

[00:00:54] And in puddles on the ground

[00:00:57] We'll draw rainbows on those tablecloths

[00:01:02] In cute restaurants downtown

[00:01:04] We'll pet puppies when we meet them

[00:01:09] Peek at babies in their strollers

[00:01:12] We'll love everyone completely

[00:01:17] Right wing atheists

[00:01:18] Left wing bowlers

[00:01:20] We'll hold hands in the supermarket

[00:01:24] We'll make out in the movies

[00:01:27] And for no apparent reason

[00:01:32] We'll start singing 'Feelin' Groovy'

[00:01:36] Paul Simon was in love when he wrote that

[00:01:41] Though not like he is now with Edie Brickell

[00:01:44] I hope they're happy but not that happy

[00:01:48] Or their songwriting will go to hell

[00:01:54] Please don't make me too happy

[00:01:57] I'm Catholic you're Jewish

[00:01:59] Get my drift

[00:02:02] We were born to suffer

[00:02:04] So cool it with the gifts

[00:02:08] And watch it with the flowers

[00:02:12] And the perfume and the wine

[00:02:15] I know we'll be in trouble

[00:02:18] If we start smiling all the time

[00:02:22] I'll write songs about pink sunsets

[00:02:27] And long walks along the ocean

[00:02:29] You'll buy Kenny G recordings

[00:02:34] You'll learn to do the locomotion

[00:02:37] We'll read Barbara Cartland novels

[00:02:41] Cry at the end of every chapter

[00:02:44] We'll believe it when she writes that

[00:02:47] With heaving bosoms the lovers

[00:02:49] Lived happily ever after

[00:02:52] Then we'll rent Old Yeller An Affair

[00:02:57] To Remember then Casablanca

[00:02:59] And anything and everything

[00:03:03] That stars Annette Funicello

[00:03:05] And Paul Anka

[00:03:06] I mean Frankie Avalon

[00:03:08] I always get the mixed up

[00:03:09] Because they're both

[00:03:10] Prisoners of their hair-dos

[00:03:13] We won't care about the environment

[00:03:17] We won't watch Headline News

[00:03:20] Our IQ's will drop to nothing

[00:03:25] We won't understand the blues

[00:03:47] Was that the blues

[00:03:50] I didn't understand it

[00:03:54] Please don't make me too happy

[00:03:57] I'll grow accustomed to this way of life

[00:04:02] I'll turn sentimental you'll turn sappy

[00:04:06] I'll want to be your wife

[00:04:08] I'll stop hating shopping

[00:04:12] I will learn to cook a roast

[00:04:15] I'll take up a hobby perhaps pottery

[00:04:19] That's what Demi Moore did in 'Ghost'

[00:04:22] Oh she was so very happy

[00:04:26] But Jesus how she cried

[00:04:29] Do you think there'll be a sequel

[00:04:32] Or will Patrick Swayze stay on the other side

[00:04:36] A wise man once told me

[00:04:40] Your greatest fear is your deepest wish'

[00:04:43] Men like him confuse me

[00:04:47] Already my IQ is starting to dip

[00:04:50] See That wasn't a very good rhyme

[00:04:54] I fear my rhyming days are through

[00:04:58] Cause all I can think of are rainbows and puppies

[00:05:02] And rainbows and puppies and rainbows

[00:05:04] And babies

[00:05:09] You make me so happy

[00:05:12] It's really getting me mad

[00:05:16] Anger is so awful

[00:05:19] Now I'm getting morose

[00:05:22] But that makes me happy

[00:05:25] It's a vicious cycle that I'm on

[00:05:28] If you keep making me happy

[00:05:32] One day you'll look and I'll be

[00:05:36] Not here anymore

[00:05:45] Yes I'll be walking down that long

[00:05:47] Lonesome horrible pathetic road

[00:05:50] No babies no puppies no rainbows on that road

[00:05:53] It will be long and horrible and lonesome

[00:05:55] But it will feel familiar and I'll have

[00:05:57] A great big smile on my face

[00:06:01] What do you mean you don't understand me

[00:06:04] Men

[00:06:05] Go Figure

[00:06:07] Please Don't Make Me Too Happy - Christine Lavin
