Lyrics

Try a Little Sadness

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.

If you see another staring straight at you

Take his life and change it - that's what you always do

You're still in the days of childhood

Where everything is wrong and no good

I can see what you're trying

What you're trying to be

Let me tell you now

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness

Or you love will never be found

(push a pink dalmatian??) out into the street

So you laugh, but cry when it comes to bite your feet

You say it's fun to live

Where there's always take and no give

Don't you see that where you're living

There's a world of sin?

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness

Or you love will never be found

You always hide your loving

Before it's gone and too late

Things are changing, you're remaining

Leave it and come with me

Let me tell you now

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness

Or you love will never be found

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness baby

Try a little sadness baby
