Glad to Be Unhappy - Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra

Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor

You would laugh to beat the band

Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor

That romance is simply grand?

Since you took it right on the chin

You have lost that bright toothpaste grin

My mental state is all a-jumble

I sit around and sadly mumble

Fools rush in, so here I am

Very glad to be unhappy

I can’t win, but here I am

More than glad to be unhappy

Unrequited loves a bore

And Ive got it pretty bad

But for someone you adore

Its a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb

With no mammy and no pappy

Im so unhappy

But oh, so glad!
