Glad to Be Unhappy Full Lyrics

[00:11.16] Look at yourself [00:13.82] If you had a sense of humor [00:17.12] You would laugh to beat the band [00:23.63] Look at yourself [00:26.41] Do you still believe the rumor [00:30.47] That romance is simply grand? [00:38.12] Since you took it on the chin [00:45.13] You have lost that toothpaste grin [00:52.33] My mental state is all a jumble [00:59.18] I sit around and sadly mumble [01:07.15] Fools rush in, so here am I [01:14.69] Very glad to be unhappy [01:21.74] I can't win, but here am I [01:28.99] More than glad to be unhappy [01:36.37] Unrequited love's a bore [01:43.18] And I've got it pretty bad [01:50.08] But for someone you adore [01:57.40] It's a pleasure to be sad [02:04.43] Like a straying baby lamb [02:10.87] With no mammy and no pappy [02:15.26] I'm so unhappy [02:19.56] But oh, so glad [02:27.46] [02:58.61] Unrequited love's a bore [03:05.84] And I've got it pretty bad [03:12.52] But for someone you adore [03:20.37] It's a pleasure to be sad [03:27.41] Like a straying baby lamb [03:33.75] With no mammy and no pappy [03:37.98] I'm so unhappy [03:43.73] But oh, so glad [03:55.79]
