I never courted suffering
Never valued paid
I'm not cruel, or a fool
Just not used to it
And now our fingers stay where
Once they hurried past
We've the time and the place
Let's get used to it
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
And never stay hungry (I don't care to)
You are what people say you are
Whatever people say you are
How can you stay happy?
We never would admit
No, not to a man
If you can't
Get what you want, get what you can
But you always made me feel
Like I've just received
And invite
To last week's Halloween
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
And never stay hungry (I don't care to)
You are what people say you are
Whatever people say you are
How can you stay happy?
If I'm wrong I will take it all back
If you ask
It's the price of good fortune I ask
If I can, if I can

And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
And never stay hungry (I don't care to)
You are what people say you are
Whatever people say you are
How can you stay happy?
Oh, and never feel lonely (I don't want to)
And never stay hungry (I don't care to)
You are what people say you are
Whatever people say you are
How can you stay happy?, Stay happy?
