My, my, the time do fly When it's in another pair of hands And a loser I will be For I've never been a winner in my life I got used to stressing pain I used the sucker pills to pity for the self Oh, it's the animal in me But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff It's the rain before the storm On a better day, I'll take you by the hand And I'll walk you through the doors Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff It's the rain before the storm Don't you let my letter get you down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you My, my, but time do fly When it's in another pair of pants And illusion I will be For I've never been a sinner, la di da Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff It's the rain before the storm Don't you let my letter get you down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Down, down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, down, down
