If You're Unhappy

So many things that you don't like
it's taken years to learn them all
a category just for me
little habits that appall

if you're unhappy, then I'm unhappy
then you're unhappy with me
everyday we come to conclusions
but I guess we'll both just see

It's true some people
make each other miserable
let's not follow their example
we're not monkeys
made to die for science
we rely on self-reliance
what are the chances that we'll smother
relying this much on each other


I was so mad at you this morning
I could not settle down
the day off did no good at all
and tomorrow I go back uptown

if I'm unhappy then you're unhappy
then I'm unhappy with you
if you treat me like a brother-in-law
there's no telling what I'll do

It's true some people
make each other miserable
let's not follow their example
we're not monkeys
made to die for science
we rely on self-reliance
what are the chances that we'll smother
relying this much on each other
