Can We Be Happy? music and lyrics by Bill Thompson (The TrueVulgarians)
Verse one
Yet another foolish feud and I’m at the bar drinkin’
“Why’d I marry her?”, in this moment, that’s what I’m thinkin’
Why’d she say again, that I just don’t understand
Don’t know what you heard me say that I didn’t intend,
What a waste of time cause you know, I’ll be home in the end.
Verse two
Why does every disagreement end in a fight?
Is it so important to you that I know that you’re right?
But the truth is, right or wrong, you won’t let it go.
I’m not the ideal man, but I love you so.
The perfect couple’s a myth, surprised you didn’t know
Chorus
I’m so sick of all this fussin’,
When we should be huggin’ and not cussin’,
Life’s not a walk in the park, you see
We’re as different as lovers can be.
The only question for you and for me, is
Can we be happy?
Bridge
Verse three
Came to this noisy place with friends for some peace and quiet.
You shoulda taken me up on my offer and joined me to try it.
Not sayin’ we’ll find real answers when the smoke clears.
But makin’ up comes easy after whiskey and beers.
A proven method that’s worked for me through the years.
Chorus
I’m so sick of all this fussin’,
When we should be huggin’ and not cussin’,
Life’s not a walk in the park you see,
We’re as different as lovers can be.
The only question for you and for me, is
Can we be happy?
Verse four
It’s remains a mystery, what might set you off.
You often rachet things up, no thought of the cost.
I’m the same man you claim you’ve loved since way back when.
If you’re hell bent on makin’ me change shoulda told be back then.
If that wasn’t good enough, just could of stayed friends.
Chorus
I’m so sick of all this fussin’,
When we should be huggin’ and not cussin’,
Life’s not a walk in the park, you see
We’re as different as lovers can be.
The only question for you and for me, is
Can we be happy?

Just wanna be happy!
Wow two winners in a row. A Great title that just begs an answer. Relationships are hard and even harder while they are falling apart. I'm rambling but I've spent many a night in a bar trying to find a way to forget... Or a least be happy... If only for a few hours. Really enjoyed this one!
Eric
