Lyrics

Happiest Girl [Kiss-A-Mix Edit]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Happiest girl I ever knew

Happiest girl I ever knew

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

Wanted to feel the joy

Pass between our eyes

Wanted to feel the joy

Pass between our thighs

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Happiest girl I ever knew

Why do you smile the smile you do?

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]

And I would have to pinch her

Just to see if she was real

Just to watch the smile fade away

See the pain she'd feel

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Happiest girl I ever knew

Happiest girl I ever knew

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]

Wanted to feel her joy

Feel it deep within

Wanted to feel her joy

Penetrate my skin

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Happiest girl I ever knew

Why do you smile the smile you do?

[Outro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Why do you smile the smile you do?

Why do you smile the smile you do?

Why do you smile the smile you do?

Why do you smile the smile you do?

Why do you smile the smile you do?
