[Verse 1]
I don't feel
Different than I was
When I was twenty, twenty, twenty-one
Spin my wheels
Nothing's ever real
Tell me now
How'm I, how'm I s'posed to feel?
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you could say
I've got a dark side
Don't mean to bring you all the way
Down
[Chorus]
Why can't I think
Happy little thoughts like you?
Why is my mind so
Permanently blue?
Why can't I think
Happy little, happy little thoughts like you?
Why is my mind so
Permanently blue?
[Verse 2]
Even now
Everywhere I go
Down below
Feel the, feel the undertow
Fake a smile
Just go with the flow
Sadness, the only only only friend I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you could say
I've got a dark side
Don't mean to bring you all the way
Down
[Chorus]
Why can't I think
Happy little thoughts like you?
Why is my mind so
Permanently blue?
Why can't I think
Happy little, happy little thoughts like you?
Why is my mind so
Permanently blue?
[Bridge]
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo ooh ooh
Ooo-ooo ooh ooh
I don't think of [?] like you
I think I forgot how to
See the dark in everything
[Chorus]
Why can't I think
Happy little thoughts like you?
Why is my mind so
Permanently blue?
Why can't I think
Happy little, happy little thoughts like you?
Why is my mind so
Permanently blue?
[Outro]
Why can't I
Think happy thoughts like you?
