My, my, the time do fly
  When it's in another pair of hands
  And a loser I will be
  For I've never been
  a winner in my life
  I got used to stressing pain
  I used the sucker pills
  to pity for the self
  Oh, it's the animal in me
  But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf
    Don't be so forlorn,
  it's just the payoff
  It's the rain before the storm
  On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
  And I'll walk you through the doors
  Don't be so forlorn,
  it's just the payoff
  It's the rain before the storm
    Don't you let my letter get you down
  Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
    My, my, but time do fly
  When it's in another pair of pants
  And illusion I will be
  For I've never been a sinner,
  la di da
    Don't be so forlorn,
  it's just the payoff
  It's the rain before the storm
  Don't you let my letter get you down
  Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
    Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
  Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
  Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
