I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
In my life, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said“
And I naturally fled
In my life, why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said“
And I naturally fled
In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
