Don't tell me you wanna be The kind of girl who's drowning And don't go holding on to anything That's gonna keep you frowning, darling Everyone's compelled to look into the mirror When they're crying Just because your tears are pretty Doesn't mean they'll get you by Sing me a sad song and make me feel better Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry Because everything feels like it's going around in circles And everyone knows that the world is upside down You were once a little baby Full of optimistic wonder So what got into you to make you think That it could pull you under, honey Could it be that we were under The impression life was perfect? And when the bubble burst We understood that every part of it hurts Sing me a sad song and make me feel better Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry Because everything feels like it's going around in circles And everyone knows that the world is upside down I'm going to color my glasses rose I'm going to follow where the rainbow goes And my pot of gold will be waiting So sing me a sad song and make me feel better Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry Because everything feels like it's going around in circles And everyone knows that the world is upside down Yeah, everyone knows that the world is upside down
