Shadows are falling all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery
I sure could use some company
Oh sing it girl
Since he's been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause such misery

Oh misery
Oh misery
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause me misery

And oh I've been down this road before
With a passion that turns into pain
And each time I saw love walk out the door
I swore I'd never get caught again
But ain't it true?
It takes what it takes
And sometimes we get too smart to leave
One more heartache for me
Another night of misery

Oh, and oh misery
Oh, misery
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery
Oh misery
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
Heart make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh
Misery
Guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
Misery
