I do the best I can with no monogram
I say, who I am ain?t a happy man ? today
?Cause nothin? ever seems (nothin? ever seems) to go my way
It?s gettin? much harder to play ? today

I used to waste my time thinkin? she was mine
I only read her face and not the mind behind ? too late
Nothin? ever seems (nothin? ever seems) to go my way
Well, I never stashed nothin? away
And this is my rainy day
Nothin? ever seems to go my way

He gets a few spare bills, some headache pills
Tanked to the gills and the tension builds ? too high
Nothin? ever seems (nothin? ever seems) to go my way
It?s got to get brighter some day
I wish it would be right away
?Cause nothin? ever seems to go my way
