Fake Happy Lyrics

Oh, my sweetheart can't do nothing for me

A new car can't do nothing for me

A new start can't do nothing for me now

I tried to run and I tried to hide

But there ain't no escaping from what's inside

This wide world ain't got nothin' for me now

I've been low down, I've been lifted high

Even had a couple dollars from time to time

But the more I see, the more I find

There's nothin' that could ever make me feel alright

So I'll go on faking happy and carefree

Hell, I'll go faking anything if it could set me free

Cause deep down I'm drowning beneath a veil of apathy

With a smile and a laugh

I've got the power to fool anybody

Anybody but me

Oh, my sweetheart can't do nothing for me

A new car can't do nothing for me

A new start can't do nothing for me now
