Happy Ending Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I'm in a movie 

Where boy meets girl 

What happens to me 

In this brave new world 

Do I listen to my heart, do I listen to my head? 

Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read? 

When I tell you how I feel, do I wonder what I've said? 

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone 

Anyone can be so hard hearted 

But everyone 

Still everybody wants a happy ending 

It's not so easy, it's '84 now 

How tough must we be to ask for more now? 

Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart? 

Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart? 

Do I think about the end when it's only just the start? 

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone 

Anyone can be so hard hearted 

But everyone 

Still everybody wants a happy ending 

I get so scared when I see the evidence against our case 

Each movie so far this year ends up with someone crying 

Or even someone dying 

Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart? 

Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart? 

Do I think about the end when it's only just the start? 

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone 

Anyone can be so hard hearted 

But everyone 

Still everybody wants a happy ending
