She dropped my hand and said, "I will go no further" I dropped my head and hid my tears with laughter (you know that) life's never been a great mystery to me It begins, then crawls slowly to the end And I've no problems if you wish to join my views Just add your name to the list of superficial friends It (funny how these things work) All seemed like it was too good to be true It (funny now it's always your fault) Was and soon it came time to play my dues So came the day when she had had enough She kept home and I wasn't asked to stay She said, "you don't have to blame yourself, you know" But I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way Don't feed the hand that bites you Just learn to starve Don't fight for change in your time Just swallow your depression And say you're happy that it's rotten out today And who wouldn't have it any other way No, you wouldn't have it any other way She left me alone, claiming we'd run out of things to fight about I was crushed of course, but at least I've something I can write about I guess I'm just some kind of malcontent Who gets paid for having nothing good to say And even though it doesn't pay the rent You know I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way
