From a first single in 1979, the group successfully combined a pop rock and power pop (and sometimes, a blues rock) influenced backing with harmony side-vocals and Lewis' strident voice, and the band had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s. These include "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World" as well.

Happy To Be Stuck With You
Huey Lewis & The News Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, but now we know, it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
Yes, it's true, I am happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
Yes, it's true, I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
'Cause I can see, that you're happy to be stuck with me
(I can see)
We've had our doubts, we never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs, but that's the way it's supposed to be
We thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
Thought about breaking up, but now we know, it's much too late
And it's no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me
Yes, it's true, I am happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
Yes, it's true, I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
'Cause I can see, that you're happy to be stuck with me
(I can see)
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
Yes, it's true, I am happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
Yes, it's true, I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
'Cause I can see, that you're happy to be stuck with me
(I can see)
Yes, it's true, I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Yes, it's true)
I'm happy to be stuck with you
Happy to be stuck with you
