Happy ending lyrics
by 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?

Do 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
La, lala, lala
La, lalalala, la

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
La, lala, lala
La, lalalala, la

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
La, lala, lala
La, lalalala
La, lalalala, la
