Joan Jett
Why Can’t We Be Happy
[Verse 1]
I didn't mean to lose control and take it out on you
But there are things I can't explain
Like havin' dreams come true
While all the world is sad and cold
Look at me and you

[Chorus]
We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy?

[Verse 2]
Every time we have a fight
It hurts me through and through
And all at once I'm so unsure
What I'm supposed to do
Even so, I always know, I'll spend my life with you

[Chorus]
We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy?
[Bridge]
No one can satisfy
The needs in me but you
I try to speak my mind to you
But you don't hear me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I gotta get off by myself
And have a drink or two
'Cause lately I been so uptight
From what we're goin' through
To live without you would hurt, no doubt
I never wanted to

[Chorus]
We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy?
