Told you once and I told you twice:
Why be mean when you can be nice?
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

I hardly feel like a mustard seed
‘cause your love is what I need
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

I’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen,
the best old girl you ever seen
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

I told you, child, when you were sixteen,
I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

A bull frog sitting on a lily pond
And I was holding her in my arms
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

I call you on the telephone
Tell me why you’re never home
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

Can’t you see I’m in misereeeeeeeee?
