Shadows are fallin' all over town Another night and these blues got me down Oh, misery! I sure could use some company Since you been gone I ain't been the same I carry the weight like an old ball and chain Guess it's all meant to be For love to 'cause such misery
Oh misery! Oh misery! Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me Seems it's my destiny For love to 'cause me misery
And, oh! I've been down this road before With a passion that turns into pain And each time I saw love walk out the door I swore never get caught up again
But ain't it true? It takes what it takes And sometimes we get too smart too late One more heartache for me Another night of misery
Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery! Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me Oh misery! Oh misery! Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this heart make a fool of me Seems its my destiny For love to cause misery, oh Misery Guess it's all meant to be For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah Misery
