When I'm feeling blue

I stick a pin in the picture of you

Beside my bed and I feel better

When I'm feeling sad

I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had

And I feel better.



Don't you try to tell me

That I'm to blame

You're the one that ought to feel ashamed

You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed

You didn't even know the fella's name.



When I'm feeling down

I just throw the clothes that you left here around

And I feel better.



When I'm feeling great

It's only because I'm consumed with hate

For you and I feel better.



Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame

When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed

You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed

You didn't even know the fella's name.



When I'm in the mood

I shout all the swear words that you thought were rude

And I feel better



When I feel alone

I make obscene remarks on the telephone

To you and I feel better.



Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame

When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed

You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed

You didn't even know the fella's name.
