Sadder than mad in your company

all that we had is never enough

laugh at the blues

but the blues get a hold on me

and that's sad

sadder than mad



Wanted to be a part of the family

wanted to know when I was at home

laugh at the fool

but the fool takes effect on me

and that's sad

sadder than mad

and that's sad

sadder than mad



Trouble in mind

when I think of you

all I find is never enough

I want to talk and talk

but we don't know how

and that's sad

sadder than mad



I see a treasure isle in front of me

I see a sly smile of contempt

I want to talk and talk

but we make no sense

and that's sad

sadder than mad

and that's sad

sadder than mad



Red letter day

and you and I, we're the same

enlighten my soul

could you enlighten my soul

and I'm not perfect I know 



I'm going to take some time

make somebody happy

somebody special



What of the world you think so little of

what of the way you need to be right

all of your days and nights

so all alone

and that's sad

sadder than mad



Is there a compromise we haven't made

show me a side I've never seen

all of your days and nights

so lonesome

and that's sad

sadder than mad

and that's sad

sadder than mad



Red letter day

and you and I, we're the same

enlighten my soul

could you enlighten my soul

and I'm not perfect I know 



I'm going to take some time

make somebody happy

somebody special



I let the world play on my sympathy

come on and take whatever you need

laugh at the blues

but the blues keep affecting me

and that's sad

sadder than mad
