Lyrics
Happy With You
In a steel town on a grey day
In an apartment above the drugstore
On the corner, and every pay day
Weíd go blow it all down at the bar
I would be happy with you
There would be nothing better to do
Cuz thereís nothing better than being
Happy with you
In the city in a deep crowd
No view from our window and 60-hour weeks
Sleep in Sunday and in summer
We would go visit friends who live close to the beach
Oh I would be happy with you
There would be nothing better to do
Cuz thereís nothing better than being
Happy with you
In a cave on the side of a mountain
In an adobe in old Mexico
On the lawn in the heart of suburbia
With kids and a dog and neighbors whoíd know
That I would be happy with you
Well itís Boston and itís raining
(again)
Youíre on the phone and Iím singing this song
My mindís drifting - not complaining
But sometimes I forget what Iíve known all along
Than I am so happy with you
There could be nothing better to do
Cuz thereís nothing better than being happy
Oh thereís nothing better than being happy
Thereís nothing better than being
Happy with you
With you
Oh I would be happy with you
