Fun
Happy Birthday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the one who ain't no fun
Everywhere you see me standing
I don't care, 'cause everywhere
There's nothing there to make me smiling

Everyone says I'm the one who needs to
Have some fun
But I just wanna be alone
Am I the only one?

What went wrong?
I took the drug, I can't remember anything good
All I want is a name
So I can be a normal person

Everyone says I'm the one who needs to
Get a job
But everyone thinks I'm a slob
OK
I'll fade away

So I guess that I'm a mess
But maybe I should find a reason
Or maybe I should learn to cry
And maybe my soul is trapped inside

Everyone says I'm the one who needs to
Loosen up




But all I really need is love
And I won't fade away
