I tried To go To bed early instead I just had another cup of coffee Dog died Oh no! An apple core happily grins at my bedside and mocks me & When I said I hated it You called and said "What?" You thought I had the life-blues But I was watching basketball & It was just rough To watch the team I like lose I'd like To know How have you been, haven't seen you since that one awful autumn Audience gets up To go They turn but then there's no coats, no home, no problem & When I said I hated you You didn't call at all & That made me feel so low I was just joking but I Know it's never a joke To make someone feel zero No it's never a joke to make someone feel zero I know it's never a joke to make someone feel zero I know it's never a joke
