You're sleeping, son, I know But, really, this can't wait I wanted to explain Before it gets too late For your mother and me Love has finally died This is no happy home But God knows how I've tried

Since I fell for you You made me leave my happy home You took my love and now you're gone Love brings such misery and pain I guess I'll never be the same It's so bad, It's so sad I'm in love with you You love me, then you snub me But what can I do

I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me Now my broken heart's the only thing that's broke about me So many people should have seen what we got going on I only wanna put my heart and my life

But I got to put you down a little while You know it hurts way down inside Well, I can't quit you, baby Well, I can't quit you, darlin' Well, you done made me mess up my happy home Made me mistreat my only child Ah, when you hear me moanin' and groanin'

You know you shook me, you shook me all night long Whoa you shook me, pretty mama, you shook me all night long Oh you just kept on shakin' me baby, oh you done messed up my happy home What's gonna happen to my poor wife and child You know you move me

(Happy to call this) 'Cause I'm happy to call this No more running I'm good knowing That I belong I got loving Inside this island Don't care who knows it

I'm no candle that can be blowin' out in the wind I'm no suffering like, the game I'm in I'm no street walker, I got fire and brimstone Sorry to disturb you, and your happy home All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea I'm gonna lay it on you

Oh oh oh oh ho oh Happy alone Sharing a smile So far from home I want in like a substitute I've been working awful hard for you But you don't say, you just hold your breath So I can't touch what I haven't yet She's a cold one and it hurts me so

Yeah, you know I once was a gambler She said I didn't want you to gamble, Lightnin' But I lost my money roll Boy, but I lost my money roll That's the reason I don't have no sweet woman Now I done lost my happy home You take it down when you lose that no

Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy) Out of the zone I guess I'll go home Try to be sane Try to pretend None of it happened Lonely old me Whoops-a-daisy I thought I was happy
