Who Needs Happiness (I'd Rather Have You)

Sitting around here with nothing to do
It's wearing me down dear, just thinking of you
How it's been so long since I held you close
How things could go wrong when I need you most
My devotion is an ocean of uneasiness
Distraction, worry, grief and stress
For love is sadness
Love is madness
Love is thinking if I make it through this hell on earth
It might be worth it
Who needs happiness?
I'd rather have you
Roaming these hallways with dreams unfulfilled
Why do they always seem so uphill?
A happy existence of peace and goodwill
Me on assistance and you on the pill: is that so wrong?
But no one sees it my way
"Get a life," is what they say
Well, I'm all spent, all sentimentally retarded now
You know it's true
I may have shot what life I've got, but I don't want a life
I just want you
I just want you to be with me here
And I don't care much if it's not such a good idea
If falling short of happy is the best that we can do
Who needs happiness? I'd rather have you
Who needs happiness if I can't have you, too?
If it's true that I have to choose between the two
Who needs happiness? I'd rather have you
