Half the Time

I lost my true love back in 1989

She was the greatest friend that you could ever find

Now there are children swinging off her homemade skirt

When I grow up I might ask her to mend this hurt

 

Cause I'm only happy half the time

Yah, I'm only happy half the time

 

I lost my true love back in 1994

She did not want to belong to me anymore

Now I picture her laughing through a glass of wine

And I'd cry more tears but she was never only mine

 

And she's only happy half the time

Yah she's only happy half the time

She's only happy half the time

Yah she's only happy half the time

 

I found my true love back in 1996

I knew I'd find her when I headed for the sticks

But she's no country girl and she won't give up on me yet

Each night I tell her I love her and hoping she'll forget

 

That we're only happy half the time

We're only happy half the time

We're only happy half the time

Yah we're only happy half the time
