此曲收錄在Dolly Parton 1985的專輯《Real Love》中，專輯共釋出4首單曲，其中2首獲得鄉村榜的第1名，成績相當亮眼，唯單曲中並未包含此曲。

一般聽友可能不太清楚，Dolly Parton在歌唱生涯前後大概寫了超過3000首的歌曲，獲得排行榜冠軍的也在20首以上，其中最著名的當屬《I Will Always Love You》。其實早在1974及1982，Dolly自己錄製該曲的版本，兩次都獲得鄉村榜的冠軍，而Whitney Houston於1992翻唱作為電影《The Bodyguard (終極保鑣) 》 的主題曲，除了紅到不行、唱片賣翻了之外，還替Whitney贏得了「年度最佳唱片」及「年度最佳流行女歌手」的兩座葛萊美獎。而此首《I Hope You're Never Happy》也是Dolly自己的作品。

歌曲述說的是，之前自己愛的男人要離開了，她也承認自己不像是小說或是影視中的英雌有寬大的雅量，反而希望男生遇到一些困難及和其它女生在一起不快樂，也讓男生感受一下當時的「身在福中不知福吧」！歌曲的曲調也寫得不錯，讓Dolly的歌喉有充分發揮的機會，也的確唱得不錯，無愧身為大牌紅歌手。

I wish you all the luck
I wish you only the best
Satisfaction in love
And true happiness
I wish you blue skies and rainbows
I wish you joy pure and sweet
I wish you all that you wish for
But only if you're with me 

I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me
I wish you nothin' but trouble
If you've decided to leave
I'm just not like those heroes
Found in books and on TV
I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me 

I have had you too long
I have given too much
I have loved you too strong
To think of giving you up
I've always envied those lovers
That wish you well when you leave
And wish you luck with another
But there are others like me 

I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me
And every face you look into
I hope you're haunted by me
Yes, I'm possessive and jealous
At least I speak honestly
I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me 

I'm just not like those heroes
Found in books and on TV
I hope you're never happy
Never ever ever happy
Never ever ever happy
With anybody but me 

I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me
I wish you nothin' but trouble
If you've decided to leave
So I'm just not like those heroes
Found in books and on TV
I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me 

I hope you're never happy
I hope you're never happy
I hope you're never happy
With anybody but me
I hope you're never happy
