You look so sad in your yellow skirt,
Yellow is a happy colour,
Didn't they tell you at the clothing store'
They should have warned you - yellow is happy.

You're learning, just as I am,
Sometimes people tell me I look bad when I feel my best,
It can sure get that way.

You take a crowded city, maybe London or Los Angeles, there are so many people holding back the tears with everyday life, no less,
Void of crisis, it can still make a grown man cry,
I don't know you, but I know about you.
