I Don’t Know How To Be Happy – Vanessa Amorosi

We dined at the park by the river
At the end, he offered to pay
Oh, to receive is a gift to the giver
There’s something I’ve gotta say

I don’t know how to be happy
I just know how to cry
I don’t know how to be happy
Now I’m gonna tell you why it’s been so long
I never really had a friend
I don’t know what to do with a lovin’ hand
It’s on myself that I depend
I don’t know how to be happy
To say I do would be tellin’ a lie

We sat in the car by the hotel
He reached and cradled my hand
I pulled away and saw the ring on my finger
I said, “Honey, you don’t understand”

I don’t know how to be happy
I just know how to cry
Ooh I, I don’t know how to be happy
It ain’t you, it’s just been a [?]
How am I gonna change
With no one to care of me?
I get down on my knees and pray
I won’t be who I used to be
I don’t know how to be happy
To say I do would just make me cry
Would just make me cry, yeah
Oh-whoa, to say I could change
Would just make me cry, just cry
Oh, just cry
