GLAD TO BE UNHAPPY Lyrics

Look at yourself... 

If you had sense of humor 

You would laugh to beat the band... 

Look at yourself 

Do you still believe the rumor 

That romance is simply grand? 

Since you took it right on the chin 

You have lost that bright toothpaste grin 

My mental state is all a-jumble 

I sit around in sadly mumble 

Fools rush in, so here I am! 

Very glad to be unhappy 

I can't win, but here I am 

More than glad to be unhappy 

Unrequited love's a bore and I've got it pretty bad 

But for someone you adore 

It's a pleasure to be sad... 

Like a straying baby lamb 

With no mammy and no pappy 

I'm so unhappy 

But, oh, so glad!
