Woke up this mornin'
feeling low
where my love one used to live
She ain't there no more
Poor me, why such bad luck fall on me?
Poor me, I'm livin' in misery
What I'm gonna do?
Hard to tell
Lord, I'm not gonna kill myself
but I might as well
Poor me, I'm so lonely can't you see?
Poor me, I'm livin' in misery
All I do
the whole day long
fall down on my knees and pray
you'll come back home
Poor me, why such bad luck fall on me?
Woke up this mornin'
Feelin' low
Where my loved one used to live
She ain't there no more
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery
What I'm gonna do
Is hard to tell
I'm not gonna kill myself
Though I might as well
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery
All I do
All day long
Fall down on my knees and pray
She'll come back home
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery
[Instrumental]
All I do
All day long
Fall down on my knees and pray
She'll come back home
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me
Poor me
poor me, i'm floating out to sea
an opportunity that went by
poor you, oh what you gonna do
no what you gonna do, you just cry
oh, you always come undone
try into the sun, you don't know why
poor you, i know what you gonna do
come on love i'll see it through, i don't know why
i hear you come nearer
i hear you but i don't understand
i hear you come nearer
i hear you but i don't understand
poor me, now float me out to sea
oh no just let it be, come on try
poor you, oh what you gonna do
oh what you gonna do, you just cry
i hear you come nearer
i hear you but i don't understand
i hear you come nearer
i hear you but i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't understand
oooh, ahhhh, ahhhh
I'd rest on my laurels
let some keen wit
and crying awful pity sustain me
But my memories leak like a sieve
And fuel this fire
It's deep and heavy roar defies me
Let's not talk in vain about the weather
Let's take my tired soul off of it's tether
Poor me
Poor me
I can't reach the ends of this
But if I didn't
It would be the end of me
I need to feen infatuation
Stoke the coals
of curiosity and longing
Let's not talk in vain about the weather
Let's take my tired soul of it's tether
I need the glory
with lights aglow around me
My halo shining brightly
in tribute to myself
No, I can't have pity on me
So tell me another story
And I'll accept gladly
and thank you for the help
Poor me, Poor me
She took the keys
She took the car
Took my love
And she broke my heart
Poor me
Poor me
Poor me another
Down with the blues
Age old infection
Learning to live
With her rejection
Poor me
Poor me
Poor me another
Yea once I held her in the palm of the hand
Holding this empty glass
But just like her but it
It's all gone
It don't last
You know nothing lasts
I try real hard to forget her
It ain't no use
I should know better
Poor me
Poor me
Poor me another
Yea once I held her in the palm of the hand
Holding this empty glass
But just like her but it
It's all gone
It don't last
You know nothing lasts
Ohh bartender fill it up
Let me drown
In these tears of love
Poor me
Poor me
Poor me another
I said
Poor me
Poor me
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
I wake up right about the mid-afternoon
With the sun in the sky, the night's coming soon
And I walk to the mirror just to fix myself
Yeah, life gets harder when you love nothing else
So I pick my pills from the counter drawer
Pick my self esteem up off the fucking floor
I guess I'm a man of no recourse
'Cause I cracked another bottle, got no remorse
And I'll say a little prayer for the child in me
I swear I used to be what I truly believed
That I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
That even I can go to heaven if a part decease, so
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
People get sick and then watch you bleed
When you fall from the top, boy, you better believe
That the bottom they got just, yeah, just what you need
But at the bottom you can't swim, 'cause you drank up the sea
When we stop and we look up to the sky
They don't ask any questions, they ask us, "Why?"
Don't have any answers, don't know what to say
Our knees are getting tired, too tired to pray
That's when we laid down, end of the road
We all seem to walk, against the walk it alone
And I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
Even I can go to heaven if a part decease, so
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
Time just seems to go on and on
On and on, and on and on
Life inside a bottle all along
All along, the bottle's gone
I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
Even I can go to heaven if a part decease
What's left inside a bottle if it's gone?
One more song and I'm finally free
I'll meet you here in heaven, between the sea
'Cause I'm not just a man with these broken dreams
That even I can go to heaven if a part decease, so
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
It holds me, holds me, like no other
One more drink, then I swear that I'm going home
Truth is that I don't really have a place to go
So pour me, pour me, pour me another
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me, pour me another
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me another shot of whiskey
Bartender hit me one more time
He left, I cried
I'm lost inside, won't ya help me
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Well I don't want to listen to the old jukebox
so don'tcha put no quarters in the slot
I don't wanna talk and I don't wanna dance
I dang sure ain't lookin' for romance
I don't wanna hang out with the crowd
I don't wanna party and get real loud
Believe me when I tell ya that I've thought this through
There's only one thing that I want you to do
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me another shot of whiskey
Bartender hit me one more time
He left, I cried
I'm lost inside, won't ya help me
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Here's my story, it's sad but it's true
There's so many things that I never knew
He loved to party and he loved to dance
He loved to get loud every time he had the chance
I always thought he was a simple-minded Okie
Little did I know he was the king of karaoke
He was everything that a man should be
Problem was that it wasn't with me
Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me another shot of whiskey
Bartender hit me one more time
He left, I cried
I'm lost inside, won't ya help me
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Pour Me
Pour Me
Pour Me
Poor me wa a ha a ho
Poor me wa a ha a ho
Sorry thoughts leaping around my head
It's been heard and it's been said
That
You tried to date another guy
Didn't hide, didn't even try
Cheating me with lies again
Making me remember when
I used to hold you baby
So tight, each night, that's right
I kinda hoped that maybe you might
Fall for me
Why oh why do voices say to me
Sit and cry, that this was meant to be
Loves unkind and loves untrue
Oh why did love pick out you
For me, for me
Wa ha poor me
Poor me
I used to hold you baby
So tight, each night, that's right
I kinda hoped that maybe you might
Fall for me
Why oh why do voices say to me
Sit and cry, that this was meant to be
Loves unkind and loves untrue
Oh why did love pick out you
For me, for me
Wa ha poor me
I wanna rock and roll, all night your Dad says, while your mother looks through Cosmo Magazine. Your sneaking out, afraid of getting reamed, meeting with some friends to cruz the party scene. Your a little buzzed now whining and drunk, your life is hell and your parents are geeks
Oh Pour me, Pour me another drink
But you know what, no matter how much ya' fucked up you still got a place to sleep. And no matter how quiet you are when you leave they know. And when your at home puking your guts out, while their screaming, you know what their thinking? I wish I was you. And when your passed out with puke all over your sheets. Your Dad is at the bar stirring his ice and thinking, Man my sons girlfriend is hot, I wish I was his age, when did I grow up and whys my life so fucked up?
Oh Pour me, Pour me another drink
The truth about parents, boys and girls, is that their more messed up than we are. And what really sets 'em over the edge is their high school reunion. And you know what, someday, were gonna be just like 'em.
Put down the spoon in you're cavier
As you sip you're champagne
What a terrible day you say it's been
But who are you to complain
Down the street lives a family man
Putting on secondhand cloths
He's going in early and coming home late
A pain he feels nobody knows
And oh poor me you will say
It gets harder and harder to live these days
And oh poor me you will say
But a lifetime of luck will never change
A woman strolls up to her run down home
With a sign on the door
She trys to read through the tears in her eyes
But she's just not welcome anymore
And oh poor me you will say
It gets harder and harder to live these days
And oh poor me you will say
But a lifetime of luck will never change
A lifetime of luck will never change
A candle burns up in a window pane
As they prey for her life
They don't know if she'll ever come
There mother, our soilder, his wife
And oh poor me you will say
It gets harder and harder to live these days
And oh poor me you will say
But a lifetime of luck
A lifetime of luck
No a lifetime of luck
Will never change.
Put down the spoon in your cavier
Yes on me, it's poor me, you must take pity on poor me
I ain't got nobody, take pity on poor me
You may go, you may stay,
but she'll come back some sweet day
By and by, sweet mama, by and by
Don't the moon look pretty shinin' down through the tree?
Oh, I can see Bertha Lee,
Lord, but she can't see me
You may go, you may stay,
but she'll come back some sweet day
By and by, sweet mama,
baby won't you, by and by
You may go, you may stay,
but she'll come back some sweet day
By and by, sweet mama, by and by
Yes on me, it's poor me,
you must have pity on poor me
I ain't got nobody,
take pity on poor me
Don't the moon look pretty shinin' down through the tree?
Oh, I can see Bertha Lee,
but she can't see me
You may go, you may stay,
but she'll come back some sweet day
By and by, sweet mama,
A Oo Oo A Oo Oo A Oo Oo A Oo Oo
It starts here now
Spread the love around
It’s not a story of when boy meets a girl
More like a story boy encounters world
And it’s a peace song
Friends may you live long
Our days are numbered we must celebrate
I lived the best day of my life today
So come on Hold on
So come on Hold on
Stand on your own feet now
Scream your lungs out
It’s not the gravity that’s holding you down
More like the demons living underground
And may your life shine
Liberate minds
I favour tigers but I celebrate cowards
Don’t want a world where religion is power
So come on Hold on
So come on Hold on
And I don’t know what to do
When I’m not here have faith in all you do
And I hope you’ll sing along
Cos when it feels this right
Tell me how can it be wrong
A Oo Oo A Oo Oo A Oo Oo A Oo Oo
Savour poor me
Your home is where you’re happy
I want freedom and I question your ways
I built an army in a matter of days
Please let me go
Search for your own halo
Stand up be counted with the poor and the true
Those sat on fences bigger me smaller you So come on Hold on
So come on Hold on
So come on Hold on
So come on Hold on
So come on Hold on
