I’ll Never Be Happy Again

Reggie asked Peter, "Do you know what's wrong with you?"

He said, "What man?" She said, "Nothing."

And that's how I feel about you too

And it's driving me insane

And oh since I met you

I'll never be happy again

Eve asked Roger about his initials, R.O.T

"What does the O stand for?" and he said, "Nothing"--

That line did it for me

And it's echoed around my brain

An oh, since I heard it

I'll never be happy again

After perfection

It's all downhill

With no time to stand up

And no time to sit still

Frequent rejection

Occasional affection

It's often offered

In the wrong direction

Wally asked Hazel, "Have you lived here all your life?"

And she said twice that time, then later she ends up his wife

Love is an exquisite kind of pain

And oh since I saw you

I'll never be happy again

After perfection

It's all downhill

With no time to stand up

And no time to sit still

Frequent rejection

Occasional affection

It's often offered

In the wrong direction
