Craig Lucas - Happily Ever After lyrics

[MAN] 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 set 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 d**h 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
