Intro: The sad thing is I'm so damn happy Who'd blame her if she were to slap me The sun should not shine when there's rain I should be in a lot more pain At least I should feel slightly crappy But the sad thing is I'm so damn happy And the worst thing is it's so much better That admission would upset her But it's true and it's beyond belief What I feel is sheer relief I may regret the day I met her And the worst thing is it's so much better It's comic that it's all so tragic It's that hum-drum novel old black magic Let's have a laugh after we cry Let's hope we live before we die The silly clown's red nose is runny And it's tragic that it's all so funny It's crucial that it doesn't matter Vows of love are idle chatter To feel this good has to be bad I'm so damn happy that it's sad Dear listener would you like to slap me And the sad thing is I'm so damn happy Yes the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
