Misery, well I heard you love having company,
This I can see;
But I'd be obliged, if maybe this time,
You'd pick on someone else but me.
Misery, well I heard you're out lookin' for me,
To hang around;
But I've had my turn; and it's time that you learned,
I'm not the only lonely one in town.
Well, I was doing some thinkin',
Just the other day,
When nothing seemed to be going my way.
I said to myself "You know it's up to you,
It's time to shake these Misery blues!"
Misery, it's time that we went our separate ways,
And said goodbye;
I'm tired of being stuck, with all this bad luck,
It's time to give my life another try!
[Instrumental Solo]
Well, I was doing some thinkin',
Just the other day,
When nothing seemed to be going my way.
I said to myself, "You know it?s up to you,
It's time to shake these Misery blues!"
Misery, I'm returning that R.S.V.P.
You sent to me,
You have my regrets,
That's all that you get,
So don't you bother me, Misery.
So please step aside, and let me pass by,
Don't want your company, Misery!
So please step aside, and let me pass by,
Don't want your company, Misery!
