a syncopated rhythm. just piece it together. this song is not a

single, hopefully it will be soon.

lyrics:

verse:

when you've had enough

when you've got it bad enough

and you cant let go

when it comes to blows

and you start to overflow

and you cant get home

pre-chorus:

it's a subtle kind of cruel

it taps my spine

here I'm drawing a line

I'm asking you please

chorus:

don't you want to be happy with me?

don't you want to be happy with me?

I'm afraid if you don't come around soon, I'll turn sadder than you

ever were

and you'll learn loneliness is worse

you've got to try

verse:

December's all alone

and hes calling me on the phone

but he sounds so cold

he says he loves me so

but how would i ever know

certain words grow old

pre-chorus:

it's a vicious kind of catch

it sides me blind

now I'm out of my mind

I want to scream

chorus:

bridge:

love liked me long ago

it had a way of making everyone the same

but now the angels must laugh and sigh

to hear me pleading with you

and needing you this way oh why

chorus:

don't you want to be happy with me?

don't you want to be happy with me?

I'm afraid if you don't come around soon

I'll turn sadder than you ever were

and you'll learn loneliness is worse

you've gotta try to stay mine all the way

chorus:

ending:

it's got a way of making everyone the same (ahhhh)
