[Intro]:
[Verse 1]:
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
[Chorus]:
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die
[Verse 2]:
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
[Chorus]:
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die
[Interlude]:
[Verse 3]:
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled
[Chorus]:
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye
[Verse 4]:
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miser able now
"Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled
[Chorus]:
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die
[Outro]:
