Happy Loving Couples

I've just been to see my best friend

He's found 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 always talk so kind

'Til 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

'Til I become one of two of a kind

But those happy loving couples make it look so easy

Happy loving couples always talk so kind

'Til the time that I can do my dancing with a partner

Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine

You know what I mean

Happy loving couples

In matching lamb turtle-neck sweaters

Reading Ideal Homes magazine

Yeah!

Wanna be, wanna really be

What my friends pretend to be

Be it in my own good time

Being kind to myself

'Til I become one of two of a kind

But those happy loving couples make it look so easy

Happy loving couples always talk so kind

'Til the time that I can do my dancing with a partner

Those happy couples 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

You ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine

Right, that's enough
