Pet Shop Boys

Happiness Is An Option

It is not easy

It is not easy

Looking from a window

At the edge of a house

At the edge of a town

It's grey like the day

When I lost it

Clouds overhead

I talked to a flower

That was almost dead

My body a prison

Why did I do it

Someone want me not to

But I still went through it

(Living it upside, you gotta remember, that happiness is an option)

It is not easy

But don't give up now

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

Happiness is an option

(But happiness is an option)

Needed somewhere to clear my head

Find some strength a warmer bed

Maximum love in a minimal world

I'd never achieved it

But then I believed it

So when I lost it - how

I'm not sure - now

It was a strange feeling

Like a law repealing itself

It is not easy

But don't give up now

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

Happiness is an option

(But happiness is an option)

It is not easy

But don't give up now

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

Happiness is an option

(Giving it up, if you are giving it up, if you are giving it up)

I can wake up in the morning

And not believe what I see

Look in a mirror and think

If that's really me

I don't think I suit my face

It's not a catastrophe

It's more a philosophy

Like the Russians wondering why

We're born under a blue sky

But die in a dark forest

It is not easy

But don't give up now

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

Happiness is an option

(But happiness is an option)

It is not easy

But don't give up now

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

Happiness is an option

(But happiness is an option)

This is neither old nor new

It's always forever

Somewhere between sense

And ambition

Pleasure and decision

We have to make a choice

What do we want

Everyone singing

'War, what is it good for?'

While planning the next one

I don't need to win

You don't have to loose

We can choose

Happiness is an option

(You can choose)

It is not easy

But don't give up now

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

Happiness is an option

([Chris:] Happiness is an option)

It is not easy

(No, it is not easy)

The war within us

(So war within us)

(So don't give up)

But it gets easier

(But it gets easier)

The more we learn

(The more we learn)

I don't need to win

(I don't need to win)

You don't have to loose

(You don't have to loose)

So don't give up

We can choose

Happiness is an option

(Happiness is an option)

([Chris:] Happiness is an option)

It is not easy

(No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No)

But don't give up now

(Don't give up now)

(So don't give up)

It is not easy

(It is not easy)

Happiness is an option

(Happiness is an option)

(If you are giving it up, if you are giving it up)

You don't have to loose

(You don't have to loose)

(If you are giving it up, you gotta remember)

We can choose happiness is an option

(We can choose happiness is an option)
