Notes

Although only named mixes of this song appear to exist, the 'Jack Mix' is actually the original version of the song.

Alan Wilder says on Shunt that "for a long time 'Happiest Girl' was going to be on the LP", but also says here that "'Happiest Girl' was left off [Violator] because we didn't think it was strong enough."

Lyrics


Happiest Girl

Happiest girl I ever knew

Happiest girl I ever knew


Wanted to feel the joy

Flow between our lips

Wanted to feel the joy

Flow between our hips


Happiest girl I ever knew

Why do you smile the smile you do


Happiest girl I ever knew


Wanted to feel the joy

Pass between our eyes

Wanted to feel the joy

Pass between our thighs


And I would have to pinch her

Just to see if she was real

Just to watch the smile fade away

And see the pain she'd feel


Wanted to feel her joy

Feel it deep within

Wanted to feel her joy

Penetrate my skin


Happiest girl I ever knew

Why do you smile the smile you do
