I'm a clumsy kid holding a baby   In a third-world waiting room   Almost every time that I'm with you   So maybe you should wear a shell   That says, "Handle with care, or else!"   Just as a courtesy to you and me      If my happiness depended on you   I'd get used to disappointment   So what's the point then of not giving up too soon?   If my happiness depended on you      Check it out:   I guess I got lost again trying to find my way to your good side   You know, everybody loves the victim   So that's my favorite part to play   As if it wasn't me who picked you up in the first place      If my happiness depended on you   I'd get used to disappointment   So what's the point then of not giving up too soon?   If my happiness depended on you      Well if I knew what the problem was   Then don't you think that I'd stop asking?   So tell me or get over it   Or don't count on this lasting any longer   Than the time it takes to crawl out of a corner      If my happiness depended on you   I'd get used to disappointment   So what's the point then of not giving up too soon?   If my happiness depended on you
