Just One of Those Things

The air conditioner broke, it's one hundred degrees.
I think I am melting, can someone help me please?

It's just one of those things.

My energy is lacking I have to confess.
The dishes are dirty, the house is a mess.

It's just one of those things.

I just stubbed my toe, I'm limping in pain.
I just fixed my hair, now it's starting to rain.

It's just one of those things.

There's a roadblock up ahead, I'm not allowed to pass.
I can't turn around because I just ran out of gas.

It's just one of those things.

The bills are all due, I don't have a penny.
The Lord only knows that my troubles are many.

It's just one of those things.

I won't sit and cry about what tomorrow brings.
Nor, will I give up until the fat lady sings,

Because, it's just one of those things.


For Catch Phrase Contest
My Catch Phrase is "Just One of Those Things"
