lyrics

I’m Not Responsible For Your Happiness (So Why Do I Feel Like I Am?)

When we’re driving in my car, driving in my car
I hold your pretty little hand
Kiss your pretty little hand

When we’re drinking at the bar, drinking at the bar
Fresh drinks in your pretty little hand
A fresh drink in your pretty little hand

When we’re lying in my bed, underneath your head
My big strong arm
My big strong arm

When we’re driving in my car, driving in my car, la la la la la
I hold your pretty little hand
I kiss your pretty little hand

But I’m not responsible for your happiness
So why do I feel like I am?
But I’m not responsible for your happiness
So why do I feel like I am?

When we’re looking at the stars, looking at the stars
I put one in your pretty little hand
Put one in your pretty little hand

If I were like the sun, if I were like the sun
I’d give you just a perfect little tan
Give you just a perfect little tan

If I could gather all the fun, gather all the fun
I’d put it in your pretty little smile
Put it in your pretty little smile

If I could gather all the stars, gather all the stars, la la la la la
I’d put them in your pretty little hand
I’d put them in your pretty little hand, but

Chorus

Bridge:
It’s a job that I don’t mind
I am happy almost all the time
I don’t find it all that tough
To give you lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of love

So when we’re lying in my bed, lying in my bed
Just touch me with your pretty little hands
Touch me with your pretty little hands

And I’ll give you all the love, give you all the love
Love love love love love
I’ll give you all the lovin’ that I can, give you all the loving that I can

But I’m not responsible . . . .
