1842 - Pleasure is the beginning and the end of a happy life ( Twee pop , Britpop )

Life is short and lovers know it And I'll never get tired Of listening to your voice when you talk about yourself Maybe it's the rhythm or insecurity Maybe because you're my best friend [Pre-Chorus] You told me your life was over at twenty-three And I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard [Chorus] And you asked me "Are you happy?" And I replied "Pleasure is the beginning and end of a happy life." And you asked me "Are you happy?" And I replied "Pleasure is the beginning and end of a happy life." [Verse 2] I can't help but think about what it would have been like If things had gone differently But history is history and I know I shouldn't But I'll tell you something And I swear I won't lie [Pre-Chorus] You told me your life was over at twenty-three And I thought that was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard [Chorus] And you asked me "Are you happy?" And I said "Pleasure is the beginning and the end of a happy life." And you asked me "Are you happy?" And I said "Pleasure is the beginning and the end of a happy life." And you asked me "Are you happy?" And I said "Pleasure is the beginning and the end of a happy life." And you asked me "Are you happy?" And I said "Pleasure is the beginning and the end of a happy life." [Verse] Life is short and lovers know it And I'll never get tired Of hearing your voice when you talk about yourself Maybe it's the rhythm or insecurity Maybe because you're my best friend [Chorus] And you know it Usually I fall in love with liars But not with you No Not with you Maybe you're proof that I'm not a lost cause And I know you've slept with a couple of loser boys And maybe I like it that way Maybe you're proof that I'm not a lost cause Because I trust you Yes I trust you
