Verse 1
Gave in, and a quarter til ten
Tore the tags off a brand new dress.
City streets and lives backseat
On a night that I’ll not forget.
Pre-Chorus
I’d be in bed
If it was up to me.
But, hell, I’m here
Guess it’s time to be…
Chorus
Happy in this bar
Just another night
Making everybody think
That I’m alright.
Lead another toast
Fake another smile
Be the life of the party
For a little while.
As long as they don’t know
That I’m so far,
From happy in this bar.
Verse 2
Pressure’s on, time to play along
And keep puttin’ on a show.
Crazy how in a downtown crowd
I can still feel so alone.
Pre-Chorus
But if that’s all
That grew inside of me
They’d understand why it’s
Hard to be…
Chorus
Happy in this bar
Just another night
Making everybody think
That I’m alright.
Lead another toast
Fake another smile
Be the life of the party
For a little while.
As long as they don’t know
That I’m so far,
From happy in this bar.
Post-Chorus
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Happy in this bar.
Chorus
Happy in this bar
Just another night
Making everybody think
That I’m alright.
Lead another toast
Fake another smile
Be the life of the party
For a little while.
As long as they don’t know
That I’m so far,
Yeah, they’re never gonna know
That I’m so far…
From happy in this bar.
Post-Chorus
Mmm mmm
Happy in this bar.
I gave in, and a quarter to ten
Tore the tags off a brand new dress.
