I'm a clumsy kid holding a baby
In a third-world waiting room
Almost every time that I'm with you

So maybe you should wear a shell
That says, "Handle with care, or else!"
Just as a courtesy to you and me


If my happiness depended on you
I'd get used to disappointment

So what's the point then of not giving up too soon?
If my happiness depended on you
Check it out:

I guess I got lost again trying to find my way to your good side
You know, everybody loves the victim
So that's my favorite part to play

As if it wasn't me who picked you up in the first place

If my happiness depended on you

I'd get used to disappointment
So what's the point then of not giving up too soon?
If my happiness depended on you


Well if I knew what the problem was
Then don't you think that I'd stop asking?

So tell me or get over it
Or don't count on this lasting any longer
Than the time it takes to crawl out of a corner


If my happiness depended on you
I'd get used to disappointment

So what's the point then of not giving up too soon?
If my happiness depended on you
