Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

I've just been to see my best friend
He's got another girl 
Says she's just about the best thing 
In the whole damn world 

And he says can't you see what the little lady's done for me 
Says it like he thinks I'm blind
But the things that you see ain't necessarily the things you can find 
But those

Happy loving couples make it look so easy 
Happy loving couples always talk so kind 
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner 
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine 

People say I'm too damn fussy 
When it comes to girls 
Happy couples say I must live
In a lonely world 

Want to be, want to really be what my friends pretend to be 
Be it in my own good time 
Being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind 

Happy loving couples make it look so easy 
Happy loving couples always talk so kind 
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner 
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 
You know what I mean 
Happy loving couples 
In matching white polo-necked sweaters 

Reading Ideal Homes magazine
Yeah! 
Want to be, want to really be what my friends pretend to be 
Be it in my own good time 
Being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind 

Happy loving couples make it look so easy 
Happy loving couples always talk so kind 
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner 
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 
You ain't no friends of mine 
You ain't no friends of mine 
You ain't no friends of mine 
You ain't no friends of mine 
Right, that's enough
