Someone woke me up this morning
And I lit a
cigarette
Found myself and I stopped yawning
Started
getting myself dressed
Then I thought that I had a dream
I remembered
the things that I'd seen
I could still hear the things you said
From
that bad dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day
Sad day, bad day
So I called you on the phone
And your friend
said She's not home
So I told her where I'd be at
And that you
should call me back
Then I looked at the morning mail
I was not
even expecting a bill
Your letter started Dear
And it left me
with these tears
It was a sad day, bad day
Sad day, bad day
Think of the times that we had rows
But we
patched them up somehow
Think of the times I tried to go
But you screamed
and told me no
There is only one thing in this world
That
I can't understand, that's a girl
I keep reading the things you said
Like a
bad dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day
Sad day, bad day
It what a sad, sad, old day
A sad, old day, it was a sad, old day
A sad, old day, it was a bad, old day
Sad, old day, a bad, old day
If there is just one thing in this world
That
I can't understand, that's a girl
It was a sad, sad old day
Sad old day, it was a bad, old day
