lyrics

Poor Happy People
By: Molly Jewell

You look like someone I could love.
You look like someone who could hurt me, too.
Looks like a reason for a shot.
There’s nobody who could stop me here, nobody who…

You look like someone I could get used to.
You look like someone who could use me, too.
Looks like we’re up against the odds.
There’s nobody who could stop me here, nobody who…

Whoever said we should know better has probably never had the faith to look for something more.
We’ll fall in love with how we’re doing it all wrong while they just get along, those poor happy people.

There’s a light in your eyes, but I know it’s not love if it don’t make me cry.
Here’s your chance to seal the deal.
Oooo make it real, ooo…

Whoever said we should know better has probably never had the faith to look for something more.
We’ll fall in love with how we’re doing it all wrong while they just get along, those poor happy people.

And it’ll hurt so bad when it’s over, but hurt’s better than going nowhere.
So, whoever said we should know better has probably never had the faith to look for something more.
We’ll fall in love with how we’re doing it all wrong while they just get along…
While we get high from being side by side, wasting time staying up all night.
I’m saying “oh what a world it is being your girl…” while they just get along.
They keep getting along.
Those poor, happy people.
