Frances Songtext
von Heaven Street Seven

People rush along the sidewalk
People talk about the rain
People smoke like it′s the Eve of Judgement Day
People doing what they're doing
I don′t care to give a smile
I won't fade away in that single file

She only wants to be happy, but she won't bear to be sappy
She′s only taking her chances, yes, and you call her Frances
She only wants to be taken
She only wants to be aching
She only wants to be happy, because she bloody deserves it
Woah, woah, woah

People run about their business
People lay their petty bets
That is something I have nothing to do with
Iceland, Tripoli or Singapore or Tennessee
It could be anywhere but far away it′s gotta be
I'll send a postcard if I broke your heart


She only wants to be happy, but she won′t bear to be sappy
She's only taking her chances, yes, and you call her Frances
She only wants to be taken
She only waits for the good times rolling
She only wants to be happy, because she bloody deserves it

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na

And I don′t care a hang
Oh, let the pigs stay in the sty
You know, this time it ain't goodbye

She only wants to be happy, that′s how she's looking so healthy
She's only taking her chances, yes, and you call her Frances
She′ll keep on righting the wrongs now
She′ll keep on writing her songs now
She only wants to be happy, ain't nobody can help it

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na


She only wants to be happy, ain′t nobody can help it
Ain't nobody can help it
She only wants to be happy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
