Joe Jackson Happy Loving Couples lyrics

I've just been to see my best friend
He's found another girl
Says she's just about the best thing
In the whole damn world

And he says, "Can't you see
what the little lady's done for me"
Says it like he thinks I'm blind
But the things that you see
Ain't necessarily the things you can find

Happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Till the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine

People say I'm too damn fussy
When it comes to girls
Happy couples say
I must live in a lonely world

Wanna be, wanna really be
What my friends pretend to be
Be it in my own good time
Being kind to myself
Till I become one of two of a kind

But those happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Till the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine


You ain't no friends of mine
You ain't no friends of mine

You know what I mean happy loving couples
In matching white polo-neck sweaters
Reading 'Ideal Homes' magazine, yeah

Wanna be, wanna really be
What my friends pretends to be
Be it in my own good time
Being kind to myself
Till I become one of two of a kind

But those happy loving couples make it look so easy
Happy loving couples always talk so kind
Until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
Those happy couples ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine
You ain't no friends of mine
You ain't no friends of mine

You ain't no friends of mine
You ain't no friends of mine
You ain't no friends of mine

Right, that's enough
