Negative Nancy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I won't tell you how it is
She won't tell you how it goes
I will bring you up to tears
She won't hit you with the blows
Life is better now this way
Truth by night, lies by the day
A real modern superman
I got millions of your fans
No one tells me how to live
I got places now to be
Secret service of a man
Take no prisoners you see
Jumping straight right into crowds
Telling people how to be
Holding nothing little back
From the big black cherry tree
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Friends all call me negative
Maybe I'm a pessimist
Cause of you I'm always late
Gonna miss my nail appointment
Daddy called me Nancy boy
Never let me play with toys
Cause of him I'm always late
Gonna miss my hair appointment
She will tell you where to go
Looking straight right through the lie
She will fall into the trap
Taking shots with all the guys
Screaming hard, her tongue it stings
Waiting for her phone to ring
Positive all days are ruined
Stealing tracks to wave and glue in
Everyone 'round her sucks
Table top for just two bucks
Washing through the ugly stains
Wishing that her trick would say
Falling into all the crowds
Hearing everything they say
Zipping up, her mouth is shut
Feeling like the end of days
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Friends all call me negative
Maybe I'm a pessimist
Cause of you I'm always late
Gonna miss my nail appointment
Daddy called me Nancy boy
Never let me play with toys
Cause of him I'm always late
Gonna miss my hair appointment
Everything's because of you
Thanks I'm late because
All my problems came from you
Thanks I'm late because
My hair's shit because of you
Thanks I'm late because
My nail's shit because of you
Thanks I'm late because
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Friends all call me negative
Maybe I'm a pessimist
Cause of you I'm always late
Gonna miss my nail appointment
Daddy called me Nancy boy
Never let me play with toys
Cause of him I'm always late
Gonna miss my hair appointment
Gonna miss my hair appointment
One more, one more, one more
