He Tells Himself He's Happy lyrics by Michael Franks

Look at him
He dials the number
Lucky Jim
He's so misunderstood
So he nails it down for good

And he tells himself he's happy
He tells himself he's happy
He tells himself he's happy
He tells himself

Little Jane
with doctor Gizmo
She's got a pain
for which there is no cure
She's a soloist for sure

And she tells herself she's happy
She tells herself she's happy
She tells herself she's happy
She tells herself

So she tells herself she's happy
And so she tells herself
So she tells herself she's happy
And so she tells herself

Look at me
My baby left me
I feel her free
I face that empty bed
I'm just staying by a thread

And I tell myself I'm happy
I tell myself I'm happy
I tell myself I'm happy
I tell myself

So I tell myself I'm happy
And so I tell myself
And so I tell myself I'm happy
And so I tell myself

So you tell yourself you're happy
And so you tell yourself
So you tell yourself you're happy
And so you tell yourself
So you tell yourself you're happy
And so you tell yourself
So you tell yourself you're happy
So you tell yourself
So you tell yourself you're happy
So you tell yourself
