Happy Ending (duet with Elaine Caswell)

Boy: I’m in a movie
Where boy meets girl
What happens to me
In this brave new world

Do I listen to my heart
Do I listen to my head?
Girl: Do I look at what I see
Or remember what I read?
Boy: When I tell you how I feel
Do I wonder what I’ve said?

chorus Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

La lalala
La lalala la

Girl: It’s not so easy, it’s ‘84 now
How tough must we be, to ask for more now?

Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart?
Boy:Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we’re apart?
Girl:Do I think about the end when it’s only just the start?

chorus Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

La lalala
La lalala la

Girl: I get so scared when I see the end
But it’s against our case
Boy: Each movie so far this year
Both: Ends up with someone crying
Or even someone dying …

Girl: Do I listen to my head
Do I listen to my heart?
Boy: Do I try to feel the same
As I feel when we’re apart?
Girl: Do I think about the end
When it’s only just the start?

chorus Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

La lalala
La lalala
La lalala la
