don't ask me why, i'm running out of laughter
there's tears in these eyes not happy ever after
and i thought it was plain to see
and i thought the whole world could be
and i thought, we'd be happy ever after

you could say that, i'm living in a pipe dream
it's just looking back, things are never what they seem
and i hope, i can safely say
and i hope, most things go my way
and i hope, they'll be happy ever after

down in southern africa there's happy ever after
that lasts maybe forever
while they're living comfortably
there's peace and unity
can we can we be happy ever after

so don't ask me why, i'm running out of laughter
there's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after
and i thought, it was plain to see
and i thought, that maybe you and me
and i thought, we'd be happy ever after
