WRONG SIDE OF THE BED
John Soeder
© 2011

Nothing is going my way
I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Misery is here to stay
I got up on the wrong side of the bed
So
Hey Jack
Cut me some slack
’Til I get my mojo back
I know I’ll feel better
When I pull myself together
’Til then
I’m seeing red
With a dark cloud over my head
I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Again

Well
On a scale of 1 to 10
I feel like a negative 7
These bugaboos won’t let me be
I need you to understand
Please, babe, take my hand
Walk through this cruel world with me
I’m having one of those days
I’m sure it’s just a phase
Happy days are coming round the bend
For now
I’m seeing red
With a dark cloud over my head
I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Again

Hey Jack
Cut me some slack
’Til I get my mojo back
I swear I’ll be better
When I get my s--- together
’Til then
I’m seeing red
With a dark, dark, dark cloud over my head
I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Again
