Lyrics
Overjoyed
If laughter's all we had
Overjoyed
There's joy in feeling sad
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Lost the nerve
To fight ya over this
And all I want
Is to taste my lover's kiss
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
All the times to you I lied
Of all the hurt I hold inside
Release me, you release me, you release me
You help me get it off my chest
You hold the pain and leave the rest
Release me, you release me, you release me
Ohhh, darlin' you release me
