"Happier Blue" lyrics
"Happier Blue"
I was sad, and then I loved you
It took my breath
Now I think you love me
And it scares me to death
'Cause now I lie awake and wonder, I worry
I think about losin' you
I don't care what you say
Maybe I was happier blue
I don't care what you say
Maybe I was happy blue
Justice is a lady
She's blind, with a scale
She's got a big letter-opener
She's been readin' my mail
I don't know why this should shame me
But it does, somehow
I don't care what you say
She don't look like a lady now
I don't care what you say
She don't look like a lady now
I believe in heavy thinking
I believe in heavy sound
I believe in heavy images
To hold it all down
I put 'em all together
As light as a feather in spite of me
I don't care what you say
Faith is not a guarantee
I don't care what you say
Faith is not a guarantee
Did you think I didn't know that?
You might be right
I swear I will forget it
If it takes all night
I never needed nothin' like I ever needed
Knowin' I needed you
I don't care what you say
None of this is nothin' new
I don't care what you say
None of this is nothin' new
