i write a song when i get high
hope to make a little money to get by
microwave dinner for something to eat
play my songs out on the street

and this kind of life is a treat you see
compared to the way that you treat poor me
I got migraines and heartpains
living in and out of love

I had a girl and her name was Sue
took her on a date to the zoo
when we got to the lion’s den
I said, “whoops”, and i pushed her in

people asked what I did that for
I said, “man, I just couldn’t take it no more”
I got migraines and heartpains
living in and out of love

well, it’s up one day and down the next
you’re always jerkin my heart around
you trip me to see how hard I fall
and then you kick me when I’m down

but If I want a life with you
there’s only one thing I can do
take one day at a time
living in and out of love
