Misery

Misery

I know you got troubles but you don't have to spread it about

Misery

You moan and you groan but all of that I can live without

Well

Until you stop worrying about yourself

You'll never get anywhere with me

I'll still be hanging in there but you're still a misery

.

Until you learn to laugh you'll never come to any parties at my house

My house

And if you go on like this the only house you'll ever visit is the nut house

Nut house

.

You're such a misery, why don't you learn to laugh

Look in the mirror and

Don't take yourself so seriously

.

Well

Dollar bills could fall from the sky

But still you wouldn't be satisfied

But I'm not going to let you depress me

.

Until you learn to laugh you'll never come to any parties at my house

My house

And if you go on like this the only house you'll ever visit is the nut house

Nut house

.

You're such a misery, why don't you learn to laugh

Look in the mirror and

Don't take yourself so seriously

Ah ah ah ah

.

Misery

You're only happy when you're feeling totally down

Misery

I only ever see you when your chin's hanging on the ground

Well

Until you learn to laugh at yourself

You'll never get anywhere with me

I'm down but I'm still happy but

You're such a misery, well

You're such a misery, well

You're such a misery

.
