Happy Loving Couples

 

I've just been to see my best friend

he's got another girl

says she's just about the best thing

in the whole damn world

And he says can't you see what the little lady's done for me

says it like he thinks I'm blind

but the things that you see ain't necessarily the things you can find

Happy loving couples make it look so easy

Happy loving couples make always talk so kind

until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner

those happy couples ain't no friends of mine

 

People say I'm too damn fussy

when it comes to girls

happy couples say I must live

in A lonely world

Wanna be, wanna really be what my friends pretend to be

be it in my own good time

being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind

{:Chorus}

You ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine

{c:Repeated 12 times with voice-over}

You know what I mean

Happy loving couples

In matching lamb turtle-neck sweaters (?)

Reading Ideal Homes magazine

Yea!

Wanna be, wanna really be what my friends pretend to be

be it in my own good time

being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind

{:Chorus}

You ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine

 

You ain't no friends of mine

 

You ain't no friends of mine

{c:Abrupt stop, Joe saying "Right, that's enough"}
