I didn't mean to lose control and take it out on you
But there are things
I can't explain
Like havin' dreams come true
While all the world
Is sad and cold
Look at me and you
We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy
Every time we have a fight
It hurts me thru and thru
And all at once I'm so unsure
What I'm supposed to do
Even so I always know I'll spend my life with you
We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy
No one can satisfy
The needs in me but you
I try to speak my mind to you
But you don't hear me
I gotta get off by myself
An' have a drink or two
'cause lately I been so uptight from
What we're goin' through
To live without you
Would hurt no doubt
I never wanted to
We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy
(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna) I didn't mean to lose control and take it out on you But there are things I can't explain Like havin' dreams come true While all the world Is sad and cold Look at me and you We have so much Why don't I feel happy, baby? I love you so much Why can't we be happy Every time we have a fight It hurts me thru and thru And all at once I'm so unsure What I'm supposed to do Even so I always know I'll spend my life with you We have so much Why don't I feel happy, baby? I love you so much Why can't we be happy No one can satisfy The needs in me but you I try to speak my mind to you But you don't hear me I gotta get off by myself An' have a drink or two 'cause lately I been so uptight from What we're goin' through To live without you Would hurt no doubt I never wanted to We have so much Why don't I feel happy, baby? I love you so much Why can't we be happy Explain Request ×
