My life has been in misery Now I hear you're gonna leave No matter how bad things get Mm, Life will be better if you're not in it Just lost my job and now you're gone Ain't got no money to carry on No matter how bad things get, mm mm mm Life will be better when you're not in it Won't take no credit down at the bar They even repossessed my only car Well now you're gone but I can't smile For trouble only lasts a while Oh, Now I'm blue and feeling down Once you leave, baby, I'll come around No matter how bad things get I'm telling you, Life will be better when you're not in it Well, now I'm blue and feeling down Once you leave, I know I'll come around No matter how bad things get Life will be better, when you're not in it
