No Such Thing

Happy birthday what’s that mean
Another year in the bank
Another year in the bank
Pocketful of painful memories
Only got myself to thank
Tangled up the sour and the sweet
Till I couldn’t taste either one
Never knew what life could mean
Till I held my newborn son
Don’t you try to whisper sugar dreams in my ear
There’s no such thing as happiness, well that’s my story
There’s no such thing as happiness, so I’ve been told
Well Honey, all you are is either cursed or blessed
There ain’t no room for yuppie words like happiness
You break into my room at night
You say you know how I feel
But you’re telling me I’m not doing it right
I shouldn’t chase down an ideal
I tangled up the golden and the black
Till my heart became colorblind
But I never found a trophy or a Cadillac
That ever gave me peace of mind
Don’t you try to whisper sugar dreams in my ear
There’s no such thing as happiness, well that’s my story
There’s no such thing as happiness, so I’ve been told
Well Honey, all you are is either cursed or blessed
There ain’t no room for yuppie words like happiness
You can do the impossible,
anything is possible, and that’s it, no more
There’s no such thing as happiness, well that’s my story
There’s no such thing as happiness, so I’ve been told
Well Honey, all you are is either cursed or blessed
There ain’t no room for yuppie words like happiness
