 a syncopated rhythm. just piece it together. this song is not a 
 single, hopefully it will be soon. 
  
 lyrics: 
  
 verse: 
 when you've had enough 
 when you've got it bad enough 
 and you cant let go 
 when it comes to blows 
 and you start to overflow 
 and you cant get home 
  
 pre-chorus: 
 it's a subtle kind of cruel 
 it taps my spine 
 here I'm drawing a line 
 I'm asking you please 
  
 chorus: 
 don't you want to be happy with me? 
 don't you want to be happy with me? 
 I'm afraid if you don't come around soon, I'll turn sadder than you 
 ever were 
 and you'll learn loneliness is worse 
 you've got to try 
  
 verse: 
 December's all alone 
 and hes calling me on the phone 
 but he sounds so cold 
 he says he loves me so 
 but how would i ever know 
 certain words grow old 
  
 pre-chorus: 
 it's a vicious kind of catch 
 it sides me blind 
 now I'm out of my mind 
 I want to scream 
  
 chorus: 
  
 bridge: 
 love liked me long ago 
 it had a way of making everyone the same 
 but now the angels must laugh and sigh 
 to hear me pleading with you 
 and needing you this way oh why 
  
 chorus: 
 don't you want to be happy with me? 
 don't you want to be happy with me? 
 I'm afraid if you don't come around soon 
 I'll turn sadder than you ever were 
 and you'll learn loneliness is worse 
 you've gotta try to stay mine all the way 
  
 chorus: 
  
 ending: 
 it's got a way of making everyone the same (ahhhh)
