You Gotta Suffer A Lot to Be Happy

Lyrics of the song You Gotta Suffer A Lot to Be Happy by Sunny & Share Loves you from the album Sex, Lies, and Preschool.

Cinderella had to work through blisters.
Cinderella and or two evil stepsisters

Rapunzel killed 10,000 hours
Up a top that locked up tower
It’s not fair
That’s a lot of solitaire
A lot of her braiding hair
It gets lonely up there

Little Red Riding Hood was followed
Little Red Riding Hood’s
Grandmother was swallowed

Sleeping beauty got sick
From her step Mom’s wicked trick
It’s not nice
She ate the apple slice
The dwarfs put her on ice

Chorus:

You’ve got to suffer a lot to be happy
You’ve got to fight a few wars to make peace
Got to hurt and feel lost
Got to know what’s the cost
When you’ve hit rock bottom, then you will see
It takes a lot of suffering
To be happy

Jesus Christ, the son of God, was crucified
Preaching love and tolerance
At least, the guy, he tried

But despite all of his pain
The trooper came and rose again

It’s not cool
To have a Daddy so cruel
Played his kid for a fool

Chorus:

You’ve got to suffer a lot to be happy
You’ve got to fight a few wars to make peace
Got to hurt and feel lost
Got to know what’s the cost
When you’ve hit rock bottom, then you will see
It takes a lot of suffering
To be happy

    Sigh. I’ve got nothing. I feel like I hit rock bottom last week. It’s been quite a climb out of it.

    Cool!

    I just Netflixed the first season of “Hung” and was charmed by this song at the end of the 7th episode (The Rita Flower). I’ve never heard it before and couldn’t find the details anywhere.

    I know it’s been a while, but thanks so much for posting this. ;)
