Lyrics

Happily Never After
Words and Music by Linda S Cullum
Recorded 1992

Knock oh Knock oh Knock
Heartache's at my door
If I refuse to answer
Will it happen nevermore

Why oh why oh why
Do you push our love away
Was it something that I did?
Is it everything I say?

Chorus

It doesn't take me long
to jump off a boat that is sinking
I hear the words you say
And I wonder what you're thinking
If we don't ride the waves
Of the tide that is changing
They'll be a fairy tale with the finale, finale
They lived happily never after

Ring oh ring oh ring
Headache's on the phone
Here comes a mouthful of words
and a belly full of groans

Sigh oh sigh oh sigh
As I try to change your mind
In your search for passion
Your'e leaving everything behind

Chorus
Instrumental Bridge

Mail oh mail oh mail
My post box is for sale
Write return to sender
and let it go back to from where

Lock oh lock oh lock
The door to my heart
Let me stay inside a while
Let me make a new start

Chorus and out
