You had the best But you gave her up 'Cause dependency might interrupt Idealistic will so hard to please Put your indecisive mind at ease You broke the set Now there's only singles There's no looking back This time I mean it Are you happy now? Oh tell me how? Are you happy now? (Are you happy?) The uncertainty you had of me Brought clouded shady company The tenderness habitual A seldom-fading ritual You killed the pair Now only one is breathing There's no looking back This time I mean it Are you happy now? Oh tell me how? Are you happy now? (Are you happy?) Are you happy now? How is it now? Are you happy now? (Are you happy?) No more leaning on your shoulder I won't be there, no more bother If you feel you just might want me That's too bad, I'm not that easy The contemplator all those years No you must adhere To your new career of liberation You've been cast all by yourself You're free at last You broke the set Now there's, there's only singles There's no looking back This time I mean it Are you happy now? Oh tell me how? Are you happy now? (Are you happy?) Are you happy now? How is it now? Are you happy now? (Are you happy?) You're by yourself, All by yourself You got no one else, You're by yourself All by yourself All by yourself All by yourself All by yourself No one else No one else By yourself By yourself
