What a Day
No matter what I do,
No matter what I say,
It's not in the cards
To go my way.
I grab my shoes,
They're tied in a knot.
I brush my hair,
But my teeth I forgot.
I jump in my car
To be on my way,
But once again,
I have a delay.
The battery's dead.
The engine won't fire.
Now look at that,
I've got a flat tire.
No matter what I do,
No matter what I say,
It seems things aren't
Gonna go my way.
When I get to work,
Quite late and tired,
The boss comes at me
With, "Goodbye, you're fired."
With my head hung low,
From a day full of woes,
I look for my car,
But find its been towed.
Now I've had enough
To drive me insane,
But I really don't have
Anyone else to blame.
For no matter what I do,
No matter what I say,
Today wasn't meant
To go my way.
