 (Jill)
I’m not so happy as I thought I should be
I simply hate to say goodbye
I didn’t know you thought so much about me
It seems you love me still, I wonder why

(Jack)
On you I always depended
Too bad we couldn’t agree
But now that your love for me has ended
What’s gonna happen to me

I hope that you will be happy
That’s all I want you to be
But tell me, Darling, while you are happy
What’s gonna happen to me

You have someone to kiss you
I have no one at all
I just know that I miss you
When night starts to fall

You’re sending out invitations
For a wedding to be
While you’re receiving congratulations
What’s gonna happen to me

(Jill)
I have been happy with you, dear
Too bad we couldn’t agree
But if my dreaming should not come true, dear
What’s gonna happen to me

I hope that you will be happy
That’s how I want you to be
But if I find we are both unhappy
What’s gonna happen to me

(Piano Break)

(Both)
If we should meet one another
And if it happens that we
Find that we can’t live without each other
What’s gonna happen to me.
