I'm Only Happy When It Rains
Garbage · Other Songs - Garbage
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why I feel so good but feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour you're misery down
Pour you're misery down on me
Pour you're misery down
Pour you're misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin' wrong
I'm only listenin' to the sad sad song
I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't get knocked down I'll tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You left a message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour you're misery down (on me)
Pour you're misery down on me
Pour you're misery down (on me)
Pour you're misery down on me
As long as I don't care
I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession
I'm ridin' high up on a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
(Pour your misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains
(Pour your misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains
(Pour your misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains
(oh so misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains
(Pour your misery down on me)
(Pour your misery down on me)
(Pour your misery down on me)
(Pour your misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains
(Pour your misery down on me)
(Pour your misery down on me)
