Lirik:

[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

[Refrain 1]

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

[Refrain 1]

In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die?

[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

[Refrain 2]

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 miserable now

"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said

And I naturally fled

[Refrain 1]

In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die?
