[ti:Please Don't Make Me Too Happy] [ar:Christine Lavin] [al:Please Don't Make Me Too Happy] [by:] [offset:0] [00:01.45]Used to be [00:02.19] [00:03.09]You were bad for me [00:04.29] [00:05.58]And every night I'd pray [00:07.95] [00:09.27]For you to change [00:10.43] [00:10.95]Then you did [00:11.57] [00:12.26]So it's strange [00:13.14] [00:14.61]When I hear myself say [00:17.12] [00:19.95]Please don't make me too happy [00:22.20] [00:24.12]Because if you do [00:26.78] [00:28.24]My songwriting will suffer [00:30.11] [00:31.23]From the bliss you'll put me through [00:34.75]Nothing's quite as boring boring boring [00:38.28] [00:39.04]As two people this in love [00:40.85] [00:41.90]We'll be so blinded by the stars in our eyes [00:46.12] [00:46.82]We won't see the stars above [00:49.57]We'll see rainbows in a naked sky [00:52.73] [00:54.40]And in puddles on the ground [00:56.15] [00:57.18]We'll draw rainbows on those tablecloths [01:00.47] [01:02.20]In cute restaurants downtown [01:04.81]We'll pet puppies when we meet them [01:07.10] [01:09.65]Peek at babies in their strollers [01:12.55]We'll love everyone completely [01:14.53] [01:17.35]Right wing atheists [01:18.81]Left wing bowlers [01:20.13]We'll hold hands in the supermarket [01:22.40] [01:24.91]We'll make out in the movies [01:26.66] [01:27.62]And for no apparent reason [01:30.44] [01:32.31]We'll start singing 'Feelin' Groovy' [01:34.99] [01:36.36]Paul Simon was in love when he wrote that [01:38.96] [01:41.23]Though not like he is now with Edie Brickell [01:44.11]I hope they're happy but not that happy [01:46.41] [01:48.87]Or their songwriting will go to hell [01:51.75] [01:54.54]Please don't make me too happy [01:56.36] [01:57.50]I'm Catholic you're Jewish [01:58.91] [01:59.80]Get my drift [02:00.50] [02:02.16]We were born to suffer [02:03.96] [02:04.91]So cool it with the gifts [02:07.45] [02:08.07]And watch it with the flowers [02:10.37] [02:12.37]And the perfume and the wine [02:14.01] [02:15.42]I know we'll be in trouble [02:17.68] [02:18.95]If we start smiling all the time [02:22.61]I'll write songs about pink sunsets [02:25.05] [02:27.38]And long walks along the ocean [02:29.21] [02:29.83]You'll buy Kenny G recordings [02:32.23] [02:34.43]You'll learn to do the locomotion [02:36.41] [02:37.17]We'll read Barbara Cartland novels [02:40.04] [02:41.84]Cry at the end of every chapter [02:44.74]We'll believe it when she writes that [02:46.58] [02:47.37]With heaving bosoms the lovers [02:49.80]Lived happily ever after [02:51.21] [02:52.06]Then we'll rent Old Yeller An Affair [02:57.01]To Remember then Casablanca [02:58.97] [02:59.92]And anything and everything [03:02.02] [03:03.31]That stars Annette Funicello [03:05.41]And Paul Anka [03:06.92]I mean Frankie Avalon [03:08.34]I always get the mixed up [03:09.97]Because they're both [03:10.52]Prisoners of their hair-dos [03:12.05] [03:13.34]We won't care about the environment [03:15.91] [03:17.81]We won't watch Headline News [03:20.74]Our IQ's will drop to nothing [03:22.89] [03:25.10]We won't understand the blues [03:28.42] [03:47.83]Was that the blues [03:48.57] [03:50.54]I didn't understand it [03:51.68] [03:54.92]Please don't make me too happy [03:56.82] [03:57.87]I'll grow accustomed to this way of life [04:00.62] [04:02.11]I'll turn sentimental you'll turn sappy [04:05.04] [04:06.24]I'll want to be your wife [04:07.51] [04:08.48]I'll stop hating shopping [04:09.79] [04:12.35]I will learn to cook a roast [04:13.94] [04:15.47]I'll take up a hobby perhaps pottery [04:18.71] [04:19.39]That's what Demi Moore did in 'Ghost' [04:22.13]Oh she was so very happy [04:24.20] [04:26.60]But Jesus how she cried [04:28.15] [04:29.28]Do you think there'll be a sequel [04:31.61] [04:32.59]Or will Patrick Swayze stay on the other side [04:36.26]A wise man once told me [04:38.25] [04:40.73]Your greatest fear is your deepest wish' [04:43.07] [04:43.70]Men like him confuse me [04:45.67] [04:47.72]Already my IQ is starting to dip [04:50.21]See That wasn't a very good rhyme [04:52.71] [04:54.92]I fear my rhyming days are through [04:56.99] [04:58.08]Cause all I can think of are rainbows and puppies [05:01.31] [05:02.00]And rainbows and puppies and rainbows [05:04.20]And babies [05:05.41] [05:09.13]You make me so happy [05:10.24] [05:12.08]It's really getting me mad [05:13.54] [05:16.01]Anger is so awful [05:17.28] [05:19.42]Now I'm getting morose [05:21.30] [05:22.26]But that makes me happy [05:23.74] [05:25.37]It's a vicious cycle that I'm on [05:27.24] [05:28.39]If you keep making me happy [05:30.85] [05:32.91]One day you'll look and I'll be [05:34.69] [05:36.80]Not here anymore [05:38.82] [05:45.54]Yes I'll be walking down that long [05:47.57]Lonesome horrible pathetic road [05:49.43] [05:50.01]No babies no puppies no rainbows on that road [05:53.02]It will be long and horrible and lonesome [05:54.39] [05:55.39]But it will feel familiar and I'll have [05:57.22]A great big smile on my face [05:58.47] [06:01.50]What do you mean you don't understand me [06:03.22] [06:04.40]Men [06:04.49] [06:05.52]Go Figure
