Happily Ever After
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Joe was really quite a guy
He used to care for me 'cause I was only a little girl
Now I'm a woman and he don't care if I cry
If that's not true, what feels guilty?
And I don't want guilt to die
It was great when we friends
Two city kids who hung out on the corner
Now like we're young I'm on the bummer
And I don't care if I cry
You know, all thing gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
To the happily ever after
All things gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
To the happily ever after
All thing gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
To the happily ever after
All things gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
To the happily ever after
Joe was really quite a guy
He used to care for me 'cause I was only a little girl
Now I'm a woman and he don't care if I cry
All thing gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
To the happily ever after
All things gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
To the happily ever….
All thing gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
No, no
All thing gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
No, no
All thing gotta end
Just as sure as he was my friend
You know that life don't lend itself
Oh no
Oh no
