Happy Loving Couples - Joe Jackson

Look Sharp!

Happy Loving Couples

I 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

But those

Happy loving couples make it look so easy

Happy loving couples always talk so kind

Until 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

Till I become one of two of a kind

But those…

You ain’t no friends of mine

You ain’t no friends of mine

[You know what I mean, happy loving couples

in matching polo-neck sweaters,

reading ideal house magazine, yeah]

Wanna be, wanna really be

What my friends pretend to be

Be it in my own good time

Being kind to myself

Till I become one of two of a kind

But those …

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
