lyrics

'Hooray for Everything You Never Wanted!'


When you’re cold and pretend not to know it
When you’re sad and you don’t want to show it
When you’re happy and you don’t want to lose it
Indecisive and don’t want to choose it
When you’re scared and you just won’t admit it
Frustrated but can’t bear to hit it
Feeling small and you can’t rise above it
Empty heart but you can’t stand to love it

You get comfortable
That’s perfectly normal
You grow attached to familiar ideas
That’s perfectly natural

When you start and you just can’t stop it
You’ve got an axe and you can’t bear to chop it
You’ve got something and you don’t know what is it
Run a bit faster cause you don’t want to miss it
When you swear but you don’t want to bleep it
Or when you’re tired but you don’t want to sleep it
You’re offended and you can’t deny it
You’ve got the money but you just don’t buy it

If you were a bee I bet you’d sting it
If you had a bell I bet you wouldn’t ring it
If you had a song you wouldn’t know how to sing it
You don’t have the rhythm so how can you swing it?
You’ve got an answer even though I ain’t asked it
If you had a cat you’d let it out of the basket
If you had a mind I bet you wouldn’t think it
Don’t get on a boat cause chances are you’d sink it

You’ve got a nose but you don’t want to smell it
You’ve got a secret but you’re not going to tell it
You’ve got a cheek but you’re not going to turn it
You want my respect but you don’t want to earn it
You’ve got a tear but you don’t want to cry it
You’re out of shape but you can’t bear to diet
Found a mountain but you don’t want to climb it
Got some words but you don’t want to rhyme it

I love your door – I adore it
I open it slightly – I ajar it
I love you ladder – I rung it
I didn’t bring it here my dear I brung it
