Lyrics
Clumsy Old World
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.
She spends all our money
And then she tells me I'm too tight
She calls me Sunny
Cause she thinks that I'm so bright
She likes her love in the morning
I like it at night
Gee it's a clumsy ol' world
Gee it's a clumsy ol' world
She don't eat meat
But she smokes cigarettes
She remembers things
That I'm trying to forget
We both can hold a grudge
But she always forgives
Gee it's a clumsy ol' world
Gee it's a clumsy ol' world
Sometimes she'll meet me half way
But then she'll steal my half
We're always in each other's way
And that just makes us laugh
She says she can't quit me
But she doesn't know why
She gets mean and hateful
But she's the apple of my eye
We heart each other
With a love that'll never die
Gee it's a clumsy ol' world
Gee it's a clumsy ol' world
