Everybody Knows
(written by matraca berg, gary harrison)
Morning number 32 waking up without you
Mamas on the telephone
She says shes got a plan
She knows a nice young man
Honey if I come back home
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows what to do about my misery
Everybody but me
Well all the girls at work say just forget the jerk
I feel better now
Even my preacher cares, said all I need is prayer
And everything will just work out
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows what to do about my misery
Everybody but me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows what to do about my misery
Yeah everybody but me
Well I dont want a shrink
Dont even want a drink
Give me some chocolate and a magazine
Ill learn to live without you
Dont want to talk about you
But I cant even walk down the street
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows what to do about my misery
Everybody but me

Im Only Happy When It Rains
Im only happy when it rains
Im only happy when its complicated
And though I know you cant appreciate it
Im only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
And why it feels so good to feel so sad
Im only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
Im only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didnt accidentally tell you that
Im only happy when it rains
Youll get the message by the time Im through
When I complain about me and you
Im only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me pour your misery down
Pour your misery down pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me pour your misery down
Pour your misery down pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me pour your misery down
Pour your misery down
You can keep me company
As long as you dont care
Im only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
Im riding high upon a deep depression
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me ...

Misery
Misery
I know you got troubles but you dont 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
Youll never get anywhere with me
Ill still be hanging in there but youre still a misery
Until you learn to laugh youll never come to any parties at my house
My house
And if you go on like this the only house youll ever visit is the nut house
Nut house
Youre such a misery, why dont you learn to laugh
Look in the mirror and
Dont take yourself so seriously
Well
Dollar bills could fall from the sky
But still you wouldnt be satisfied
But Im not going to let you depress me
Until you learn to laugh youll never come to any parties at my house
My house
And if you go on like this the only house youll ever visit is the nut house
Nut house
Youre such a misery, why dont you learn to laugh
Look in the mirror and
Dont take yourself so seriously
Ah ah ah ah
Misery
Youre only happy when youre feeling totally down
Misery
I only ever see you when your chins hanging on the ground
Well
Until you learn to laugh at yourself
Youll never get anywhere with me
Im down but Im still happy but
Youre such a misery, well
Youre such a misery, well
Youre such a misery

Alright

Whoa
If you want love
Dont come to me
Ill be the last to give you sympathy

Under the covers
Ill be the last to be your back door lover
Dont you cry now

Dont Talk To Me About Work
A perfect day to get out of bed
Shower, dress, shave, kiss you on the head
Then I hit the office and my head starts to swim
A perfect day to just walk around
See a violent movie, check the sounds
But even on the street
When I hear a phone ring my heart starts to beat
When I get home I dont want you to speak
Dont talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Im up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
How many dollars, how many sales
How many liars, how many tales
How many insults must you take in this one life
Im in prison most of the day
So please excuse me, if I get this way
But I have got obligations to keep
So be very careful when you speak
Dont talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Im up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Im up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
Dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work

Sweet Misery
Oh, sweet misery
why don't you join me for the day
come out, come out
where ever you are
I figured we come out and play
sweet misery, sweet misery
I need you now more then ever
you left without a warning
I thought we'd always stay together
oh, sweet misery
is it time for hide and seek?
I'm looking for you
searching for you
but you won't make a peep
Sweet misery, sweet misery
don't give me a tough time
I just want to keep you forever
treat you just like you're mines
Oh, sweet misery
do you know you're all i have?
You just lead the way
I'll follow your path
Sweet misery, sweet misery
I can't go on with out you
are you giving up on me?
you know you're not allowed to
Oh, sweet misery
Yes, you have arrived
I knew you'd never leave me
I forgot to look inside.

Misery
Misery
By: Adam M. Snow
Here I am alone in somber;
as I rest calmly here in my chamber.
Suddenly there rose a clatter;
for I hear it calling out to me;
'Who's there that my eyes cannot see? '
I said as the voices replied,
'Misery is me, I am your misery.'
I rose from my slumber;
with haste of morning ember;
to be stopped by an essence of me.
'How can this be? ' I said. 'Truly it can't be me.'
This is too real even for a dream;
truly it cant even be a ream.
'So who are you to be a reflection of me? '
Thus he replied, 'I am your misery.'
He said he is my misery;
if that is the case how can that be?
for I've held this pain in for so long;
that I do not know what went wrong;
for I am also numb,
weary, dreary, and some;
for I know not what would become of me;
if I was to set it free.
For I know now that this will be the end of me;
to be killed by my own misery.
I reach deeply within myself letting loose of my feelings;
as my misery whispered in my ear; he said, 'Your time is near.'
Must this be, for I feel that I'm not ready?
For all the things that I have done, I am truly sorry.
This is truly the end of me;
thus my last words be,
'Misery is me, I am my misery.'

Since I Dont Have You
I dont have plans and schemes and I dont have hopes and dreams.
I dont have anything since I dont have you.
I dont have fond desires and I dont have happy hours.
I dont have anything since I dont have you.
I dont have happiness and I guess I never will again.
When you walked out on me in walked old misery,
And hes been here since then.
I dont have love to share and I dont have one who cares.
I dont have anything since I dont have you.
You, you...

No Way Out
Cant you see Im shaking in my shoes
Ive done everything but I still got the blues
Everywhere I turn theres misery
Stuck in the middle of nowhere street
Go away come back where ya goin
Dont do that, do this, dont you blow it
Run dont walk, shout dont talk about it
You dont know anything about it
Its no good theres no way out
No way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
Theres no doubt
That theres no way out, no way out
She left some money in a paper sack
And a note to say she aint coming back
Its no good theres no way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
But theres no way out, no way out
Theyre coming at me from everywhere
They say shes already gone from here
Go away come back where ya goin
Dont do that, do this, dont you blow it
Run dont walk, shout dont talk about it
You dont know anything about it
Its no good theres no way out
No way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
That theres no way out, no way out
No way out
No way out
No way out

Bring Him Back

Oh, bring him back
If hes too much for you
And you dont know just what to do
Just send him right on back to me
cause Im still the fool I used to be
If its only just for a day
Ill take him back any old kinda way
I aint fooling anymore
Been crying since he walked out the door
Dont know what to do
Dont know where to go
You know I love him so
You know so wont you
(bring him back), mmm

You know you gotta bring him back
(bring him back), ooh, yeah

Just bring him back to me

Oh, bring him back to me
My life is full of misery
Let me play with the boy
Let me be his little toy
Oh, bring him back to me
My life is full of misery
You know you gotta bring him back
Ah, ha, youve gotta bring him back
Oh, bring him back to me
Oh, my life is full of misery

If You Cant Say Something Nice
(orbison-melson-rush)
Dont talk about her, she does the best she can
Dont talk about her, dont talk about her
Shes just lost her man
Shes lonely, just try and understand.
And if you cant say something nice
Dont say anything at all
Dont you know that shes had a bad, bad fall
And if you cant say something nice
Dont say anything at all.
Dont talk about her, because she feels that way
Dont talk about her, dont talk about her
She dont feel so good today
Shes crying, because her baby walked away.
And if you cant say something nice
Dont say anything at all
Dont you know that shes had a bad, bad fall
And if you cant say something nice
Dont say anything at all.

Misery One O One
there is this philosophy
(and i assure you it is adopted by many
perhaps,
without their knowing it) that-
when we make ourselves miserable
people who are miserable
(and the majority is miserable
for quite long)
...will love you for it, since you are like a fallen angel
from up there
and here you are without wings and muddy and bruised
and very much like all of them
and now
with them.
they will love you for this misery
and since you have not really experienced true love
(since you feel that you are abandoned
and molested by whom, how do i know?)
you accept
love in misery
misery loving another misery
misery that seeks company
and here is company....
and so look at this paradox of you
(you do not deserve this, but you choose it just the same)
happy, so happy, in the midst of miserable people
wallowing in misery
the big house in the exclusive millionaire's row
where you once lived
waits for you
you can be there anytime you want
as you still immerse in that feigned misery
Misery 101.
They will give you a grade for that.
Have fun.

Backtalk
I work all day to make a livin
No one needs
Your kind of attitude
Your sharp tongue
It cuts me like a razor
Lip service gets you nowhere
No, no, no
Back talk I dont need it
B-b-b-back talk I dont need it
No, no, no back talk
Dont want to hear it
Dont give me no back talk
Watch that temper
You watch what youre sayin
Dont talk to me
With that tone of voice
Your act is pushin me
To the limit
Cant stand it, cant stand it
Cant take it any more
Dont wont back talk
I dont need it
Dont give me back talk
I dont want to hear it
Dont give me back talk
Dont need it, no
I believe you enjoy
This aggravation
Lately thats all I get from you
You were born to drive me crazy
Cant take it, cant take it any more from you
No, no more
Back talk, I dont need it
Back talk, I dont need it
Back talk, dont want to hear it
Dont give me no back talk

Dont give me no sassy back talk
No I dont want to hear it

I give and I give
I give and I give
Over and Over again
Til it hurts me so bad that i juss wanna die
My happiness only lasts but so long
No matter what brings it on it always fades away
I dont understand why is it here and I cry
Over and over again
I just want the hurt and the pain to go away
I want it to all just dissappear
I can't take it anymore
I feel like i'm going crazy
Being strong is hard
It's a tedious job
Trying to help others
nd then getting stabbed in the back
Is a painful process
And if it happens over and over
It will drive you insane
Please I cry make the pain go away
My emotions affeect those around me
So much that they dont even want to be around me
My defensive walls are crumbling around me
Theyre crashing down with a loud thud
And those closest to me are stuck underneath
They want to escape my misery
But they want to be there for me
In the end all I can say is go leave me
I'll survive on my own
Cuz i dont want u to hurt
becuz of my pain and misery
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I don't know what i did this time

I Dont Wanna Rock
It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds in, its obvious, your going nowhere...
She makes you tell her that shes your best friend
You tell her things you know wont make her mad
Dont want to be the one to say things are going nowhere...
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna wait by the phone, and,
I dont wanna tell you I love you
Dont wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!
Its hard to live outside her safety zone
Cause you remember being all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way, youre going nowhere...
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna wait by the phone, and,
I dont wanna tell you I love you
Dont wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!
And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe Ill be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna wait by the phone, and,
I dont wanna tell you I love you
Dont wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!

Miss Misery
Ill fake it through the day
With some help from johnny walker red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?
A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand
Told me Im strong
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean
You had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place Ive seen in a magazine
That you left lying around
I dont have you with me but
I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?
I know youd rather see me gone
Than to see me the way that I am
But I am in the life anyway
Next door the tvs flashing
Blue frames on the wall
Its a comedy of errors, you see
Its about taking a fall
To vanish into oblivion
Is easy to do
And I try to be but you know me
I come back when you want me to
Do you miss me miss misery
Like you say you do?
