So Happy Together Now That She's Not There

She's Not There
Happy Together

Structural Similarities:
1. The first two lines of the verse are front heavy: the second part of the line only has 2-4 syllables

Well no one told me about her the way she lied [4]

Well no one told me about her how many people cried[4]
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Imagine me and you I do [2]
I think about you day and night
It's only right [4]
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together

2. Verse ends with the name of the song

Well no one told me about her the way she lied

Well no one told me about her how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
If I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
3. Short chorus with only one rhyming line

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked

The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

4. Certain lines repeated twice within each verse/chorus
Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life


5. Verses repeated towards end of song

But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked

The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there


But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together


I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together

I would say that the Zombies should sue the Turtles, but I think "Happy Together" is the far superior song.
