Happily Ever After

[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 death
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
Till 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, ever after
Ever, ever, ever after...
