My Happy Ending lyrics

When I was born, my mother said,

"My cup runneth over.

"I got a girl, her hair is red."

My daddy said, "Lets take her home.

We’re movin' to a house we own.

Her brother’s sittin' waitin' for her."

I grew up in the Garden State

A place called New Jersey

Frozen food was all I ate

We weren’t rich, we weren’t poor

Took my allowance to the store

Bought another top-ten 45, yeah, ooh

[Chorus:] 

For all that I know,

This is how it should go

No need for pretending

I can stop waiting around

'Cause I’ve already found

My happy ending

I had a son, then another son,

Both born in California

Just in time I got that done,

I taught ‘em both to roller skate,

To thy neighbor tolerate,

Arrive on time ‘cause it’s rude to others, ooh

[Chorus]

Some days, stuck inside my head, 

Seems like gettin’ out of bed is hardly worth it

But I drag my body out,

Drink a cup of coffee, 

Open up the blinds, and to my surprise, 

The sky is perfect

For all that I know,

This is how it should go

No need for pretending

I can stop waiting around

'Cause I’ve already found...

For all that I know,

This is how it should go

No need for pretending

I can stop waiting around

'Cause I’ve already found

My happy ending  

My happy ending

My happy ending
