[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
