You heard I was dead -- well, you heard right
Because I think I'm just staying home alone tonight
But before you draw your conclusions, don't forget
I'm not ready to be but pout of my misery yet
Just let me alone -- I'm minding my own
This story is simple and I'll keep it brief
I have been staying one step ahead of relief
But the forces of nature have brought me to heel
And these aches and pains and me are striking up a deal
So, let me alone -- I'm minding my own
And, yes, I already know how the say
That crying won't help, but sometimes I cry anyway
I'll tell you how this is gonna be honey
You can take your good looks and all your paper money
And have this joke explained to you
But then it's never gonna be funny
I guess there is no point in denying
Sometimes you can't win, but you still keep trying
So don't worry, I'll be back to being vicious
Soon as I'm feeling more ambitious
But until then, let me alone -- I'm minding my own
And now it's time for met o bid you goodnight
Pull down the shades and turn out the light
