A Little Too Happy

Peter Mayer

Too much drink and I can see angels
Like goin’ south to see the northern lights
But I can’t drink enough to wash away this stuff
And I’m a little too lonely tonight
A little too in love and I’ll go crazy
Without your love I’m weary and weak
The problem is love I love you better
When you’re a little too… out of reach

Chorus
When will I be a little too happy
I’ve been crying a little too long
If this is a bad dream go ahead and slap me
Cause tonight I’m too tired to go on go on

You’re a little too busy for your own good
Too many voices in your head
You’ve got an itch to scratch, a plane to catch, anybody got a match
There’s a sucker born every minute someone said
You’ve got a lovely lovely lovely lawn
A little too green to be real
Perfect toast in your toaster
But you’re a little too bored to feel

Chorus
When will I be a little too happy
I’ve been a cryin’ a little too long
If you love me come on unwrap me
Have mercy on this boy

God above and God below I’ve called you Mary called you Joe
A simple plea to you I bring
All I want is everything

There’s a place around the corner
Where you can go to get a little relief
If your heart’s little torn and tangled
But the line stretches down every single street

Chorus
