You lift me up when I’m down
You bring me down when I’m high
Best of all worlds both good and bad
The rotten apple of my jaundiced eye
Happy and blue
All over you
You get a kick out of seeing me cry
It’s a balm for your tortured heart
My face resembles a traffic jam
While yours looks like abstract art
Happy and blue
All over you
You kill me, you really do
You slay me, ca-coo-coo-ca-chu
You get to the heart of funny and sad
Which makes me both wistful and mad
How can you be so good and so bad, bad, bad
You’ve really got that 100-yard stare
Makes you look both steadfast and cold
Makes me wanna do your laundry
Practice my old fluff and fold
