The sad thing is I'm so damn happy   Who'd blame her if she were to slap me   The sun should not shine when there's rain   I should be in a lot more pain   At least I should feel slightly crappy   But the sad thing is I'm so damn happy      And the worst thing is it's so much better   That admission would upset her   But it's true and it's beyond belief   What I feel is sheer relief   I may regret the day I met her   And the worst thing is it's so much better      It's comic that it's all so tragic   It's that hum-drum novel old black magic   Let's have a laugh after we cry   Let's hope we live before we die   The silly clown's red nose is runny   And it's tragic that it's all so funny      It's crucial that it doesn't matter   Vows of love are idle chatter   To feel this good has to be bad   I'm so damn happy that it's sad   Dear listener would you like to slap me   And the sad thing is I'm so damn happy   Yes the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
