Happy Ending - Joe Jackson, Elaine Caswell

I’m in a movie

Where boy meets girl

What happens to me In this brave new world

Do I listen to my heart, do I listen to my head?

Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read?

When I tell you how I feel, do I wonder what I’ve said?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone

Anyone can be so hard hearted

But everyone

Still everbody wants a happy ending

It’s not so easy, it’s '84 now

How tough must we be to ask for more now?

Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart?

Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we’re apart?

Do I think about the end when it’s only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone

Anyone can be so hard hearted

But everyone

Still everbody wants a happy ending

I get so scared when I see the evidence against our case

Each movie so far this year ends up with someone crying

Or even someone dying

Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart?

Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we’re apart?

Do I think about the end when it’s only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone

Anyone can be so hard hearted

But everyone

Still everbody wants a happy ending
