[Verse 1]

She spins 'round the room like a cabinet of pills down the drain

It's lookin like rain, but it's a beautiful day

She says we should stay in and drink without brown paper bags

Say, "You look pretty good when you're talking like that"


[Chorus]

'Cause I can't make you happy all of the time

But days like this, I don't have to try


[Verse 2]

Strung out on that bench, I told Luke I won't see twenty-two

Man, I couldn't guess then I'd be curled up with you

Now I'm crippled and quiet as my thoughts tear through the room

First time in my life I got something to lose


[Chorus]

But I can't make her happy all of the time

But days like this, I don't have to try


[Bridge]

One day I know I'll run out of luck

You'll shake your head and finally wake up

And realize that first night you could've run

Man, I was one site for sore eyes

When my engine died outside

And you said, "I guess you'll have to stay the night"


[Outro]

And you won't make me happy

You can't make me happy

No, you won't make me happy all of the time
