I Want My Beloved to Be Happy/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


I... I never had a chance, did I?
I'm not angry
Can't say I'm not jealous...
But at least I can honestly say
I'm happy for you

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky

—Asuka to Pisuke in Girl Next Door

Take care of her.

Riku, moments before his Bolivian Army Ending, Kingdom Hearts

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

—H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Roxane (agitated): Why, this is love indeed!. . .
Cyrano (taking Christian's place): Ay, true, the feeling
Which fills me, terrible and jealous, truly
Love,--which is ever sad amid its transports!
Love,--and yet, strangely, not a selfish passion!
I for your joy would gladly lay mine own down,
--E'en though you never were to know it,--never!
--If but at times I might--far off and lonely,--
Hear some gay echo of the joy I bought you!

Cyrano De Bergerac, III.vii

And if it's over
It hurts but I'm giving you my word
I hope that you're always
Happy like we were
Happy like we were

Skillet, "Say Goodbye"

I loved you; even now I may confess,
Some embers of my love their fire retain;
But do not let it cause you more distress,
I do not want to sadden you again.
Hopeless and tonguetied, yet I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous and the timid know;
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.

‍'‍Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And feel the power if you won't (no you won't)
I can't make you love me (if you don't)

Bonnie Raitt, "I Can't Make You Love Me"

Ilsa: But what about us?
Rick: We'll always have Paris.

When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
‍'‍Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again

Tim McGraw, "Just to See You Smile"

I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Adele, "Someone Like You"

Tom Bailey Jr: Casablanca, Bogie puts her on the plane.
Tom Bailey Sr: Pussy
Tom Bailey Jr: Bogie's a pussy?
Tom Bailey Sr: A big pussy

I just want his happiness.

—Knives Chau referring to Scott Pilgrim

I know if I go things'll be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know 'em all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind, where the kids are alright

Chuck: It's just a game. I hate to lose. You're free to go.
Blair: Thank you. (leaves)
