I hope you find a stable girl
Who treats you like you deserved
Take her home at Christmastime, impress your middle class parents
God knows that I could never meet all of their gold expectations
And if they want the family jewels, then pack them up, they can take them

You have known for quite a while
That I am not so well
Sad girls don't make good
Sad girls don't make good wives

And when you're sitting in the dark next to a girl who could love you
You're at the indie movie house watching a film you'd take me to
I hope you feel a little peace
Thinking I've finally gone crazy
And you can take her slender hand
Make her your wife and be happy

You have known for quite a while
That I am not so well
Sad girls don't make good
Sad girls don't make good

You have known for quite a while
That I am not so well
Sad girls don't make good
Sad girls don't make good

She was brilliant and oh so talented
But she was sad and sick
That's what killed her in the
She was brilliant and oh so talented
But she was sad and sick
And that's what killed her in the end
