All them colors of the rainbow
Are merely shades of gray to me
You may think that I'm a downer
But it's just the way that I see
You can try to cheer me up
For all the good that it will do
But then you start to get irritated
And shout I am through with you
Just a little bit of lovin'
That's what I need
All the fluffy clouds up in the sky
They look foreboding to me
You see something warm and fuzzy
Me I see ugly reality
You can try to make me laugh
But you won't get very far
It's just the way I am built
Like some broke down car
Just a little bit of lovin'
That's my simple creed
All the wonders of the world
Aren't so wonderful to me
They all look rather common
They look rather touristy
You can get all frustrated
And scream, Hey, snap out of it
But that will only bring me down
When I'm having a bout of it
