You're Only Happy When You're Miserable

Go sell your snake oil to someone you used to know I've heard your whining till my motor just won't go The sky ain't falling though I know you wished it would I almost hate to tell you that I'm leaving here for good You're only happy when you're miserable I'm all amped up, you're all clamped down I've never seen you with your cup half full Worst case scenario, yeah, that's the girl I know Go tell your mother it was all my fault Your baby brother, I ain't worth my salt Your bold prediction that I'd bail on you Turns out my nightmare is your dream come true You're only happy when you're miserable Go on and run it in the ground Hard time I get it through my own thick skull Your doomsday fantasy means more to you than me You're only happy when you're miserable Don't know the last time that I've seen you smile I only know it's been a long, long while I tried to change you like I thought I should You pulled the wool on me, it ain't no mystery You court disaster with a surgeon's skill I've got good news for you, I've had my fill The sun is shining and you're pulling out your hair Too close to crazy to pretend I even care You're only happy when you're miserable I ramp it up, you clamp it down You've made an art form out of pitiful It's raining cats and dogs, you'd rather snakes and frogs You're only happy when you're miserable You're only happy when you're miserable You're only happy when you're miserable You're only happy when you're miserable --- You're Only Happy When You're Miserable - Rodney Crowell and Ringo Starr
