Lyrics: Happy Ending
Album: Body And Soul
Artist: Joe Jackson
 

I’m in a movie
Where boy meets girl
What happens to me
In this brave new world

Do i listen to my heart, do i listen to my head?
So i look at what i see, or remember what i read?
When i tell you how i feel, do i wonder what i’ve said?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

It’s not so easy, it’s ’84 now
How tough must we be to ask for more now?
Do i listen to my head, do i listen to my heart?
Do i try to feel the same as i feel when we’re apart?
Do i think about the end when it’s only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

I get so scared when i see the end but it’s against our case
Each movie so far this year ends up with someone crying
Or even someone dying

Do i listen to my head, do i listen to my heart?
Do i try to feel the same as i feel when we’re apart?
Do i think about the end when it’s only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending
