| If I hadn’t always been depressed
|
| I’d climbed that golden ladder of success and if I hadn’t been so blue
|
| Thank misery for bringing me to you.
|
| If only I stayed in my home town
|
| Married my old sweetheart, settled down
|
| Watched my belly swell a time or two
|
| Thank misery for bringing me to you.
|
| Thank misery, the years I’ve lost
|
| The drinks I’ve served, the friends I’ve tossed
|
| Thank misery; |
| she’s had enough of me…
|
| If I could go back in a time machine
|
| I wouldn’t buy a ticket, well maybe
|
| But I’m so happy now I swear it’s true
|
| Thank misery for bringing me
|
| God bless the pain that set me free
|
| Thank misery for bringing me to you |
