Lyrics
Misery
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.
Mainly you have fire on my mind
More than you ought to be
Mainly I find, you're on my mind
More than you ought to be
Thoughts of you should bring me joy
But then you only bring misery
Well, well, I tried to act gay seemed to have fun
But I'm finding a bottle that can't be one
Cause you're on my mind more than you ought to be
Thoughts of you should bring me joy
But then you only bring misery
Now beyond happiness you bring, really isn't fair
But I payin' a heavin, heaven above someday you'll have to care
And keep me on your mind more than I ought to be
But I hope my thought bring you joy
And not a whole lot of misery, oh
Not a whole lot of misery, oh
