What's the matter with you?
The happy feeling's gone
Don't know what's going on
Don't know what to do
What is the matter with you?

You never laugh these days
Your smile, it's gone away
I wish you would tell the truth
What is the matter with you?

Have I forgotten a promise I made you, one I couldn't keep
Maybe it's something I said, I've been known to talk in my sleep
You've got a stormy cloud hanging above you, wherever you go
I wish you would tell me
The silence is killing, every little thing that we had
What's the matter with you?

The happy feeling's gone
Don't know what's going on
Oh, I don't know what to do
What is the matter with you?

You never laugh these days
Your smile, it's gone away
I wish you would tell the truth
What is the matter with you?

What have I done, if I thought it would help
I'd say sorry in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat
Down on my knees, praying the lord
Bring him back to me, back, oh
If you can't tell me, write me a letter
Or call a friend and have them tell me
What's the matter with you?

The happy feeling's gone
Oh, I don't know, what's going on
Yeah, don't know what to do
What is the matter with you?

Oh, you never laugh these days
Your smile, it's gone away
I wish you would tell the truth
What is the matter with you?
Hmm, what's the matter?
Come on, please, tell me
