I love to be unhappy,
I live to be in pain.
When days are golden sunshine,
I'm looking for the rain.
I love to have a headache,
I'm happy with a cold.
I'm looking for a problem --
Why wait until I'm old?
They say that no one's happy
With anything they've got.
And just when things seem wonderful
You think of how it's not.
And so when fortune's smiling
On the ladder to success,
If you set your mind to thinking,
You can really make your life a mess.
I always send my steak back,
My life is overdone.
I have to be quite careful
That I don't have any fun.
[She dances]
And even when I'm tapping,
Happy hoofing to the beat,
I know I'll get thick ankles
And ugly muscles in my feet.
