Who Needs Happiness (I’d Rather Have You)

Sitting around here with nothing to do
It's wearing me down, dear, just thinking of you
How it's been so long since I held you close
How things could go wrong when I need you most

My devotion is an ocean of uneasiness
Distraction, worry, grief and stress

For love is sadness
Love is madness
Love is thinking, "If I make it through
This Hell on earth, it might be worth it"
Who needs happiness?
I'd rather have you

Roaming these hallways with dreams unfulfilled
Why do they always seem so uphill?
A happy existence of peace and goodwill
Me on assistance and you on the pill

Is that so wrong?
But no one sees it my way
"Get a life," is what they say

Well, I'm all spent
All sentimentally retarded now
You know it's true
I may have shot what life I've got
But I don't want a life
I just want you

I just want you to be with me here
And I don't care much if it's not such a good idea
If falling short of happy is the best that we can do
Who needs happiness?
I'd rather have you

Who needs happiness?
Who needs happiness?
Who needs happiness if I can't have you, too?

If it's true that I have to choose between the two
Who needs happiness?
I'd rather have you
