I know something about true love
I know something
It's a kinda thing that you screw up
Over some dumb thing

I don't know anyone who doesn't try to give it a whirl
You better hang on

'Cause it's a sad old world
Yeah, it's a sad old world, yeah, it's a sad old world
Don't try to tell me it's gonna' be alright

You better hang
Hello, no, I mean you

You better hang on
'Cause it's a sad old world

Yes, it's a sad old world
I said, it's a sad old world
Don't try to tell me it's gonna' be alright

I know something about sickness
I know something about that now
There's nothing you can do except witness
No, there's nothing you can do

And when the petals on the flower start to curl
Well, you better hang on, now, you better hang on

You better hang on
'Cause it's a sad old world
Yeah, it's a sad old world

I said, it's a sad old world
I said, it's a sad old world
Yeah, it's a sad old world
