He Tells Himself He's Happy lyrics by Michael Franks
Look at himHe 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
