Happy Loving Couples Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I've just been to see my best friend 

He's got another girl 

Says she's just about the best thing 

In the whole damn world 

And he says can't you see what the little lady's done for me 

Says it like he thinks I'm blind 

But the things that you see ain't necessarily the things you can find 

But those 

Happy loving couples make it look so easy 

Happy loving couples always talk so kind 

Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner 

Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine 

People say I'm too damn fussy 

When it comes to girls 

Happy couples say I must live 

In a lonely world 

Want to be, want to really be what my friends pretend to be 

Be it in my own good time 

Being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind 

Happy loving couples make it look so easy 

Happy loving couples always talk so kind 

Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner 

Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 

You know what I mean 

Happy loving couples 

In matching white polo-necked sweaters 

Reading Ideal Homes magazine 

Yeah! 

Want to be, want to really be what my friends pretend to be 

Be it in my own good time 

Being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind 

Happy loving couples make it look so easy 

Happy loving couples always talk so kind 

Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner 

Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 

You ain't no friends of mine 

Right, that's enough
