Sweet Misery

Jimmy Dean · Everybody Knows [RCA Victor] [1971]

(Jan Crutchfield - Wayne P. Walker)



When I'm lonely I think of someone

Someone I call sweet misery

In her arms I, I was in heaven

But heaven wasn't meant for me.



Oh, I still love her, oh, but I've lost her

When she walked out the hurt walked in

Now our love's gone just like an old song

That no one ever wants to hear again.



I count heartaches that a big fool makes

And I think about my sweet misery

To my sorrow each new tomorrow

Proves there's never been a bigger fool than me.



Ah, in her arms I I was in heaven

But heaven wasn't meant for me

Yeah, when I'm lonely I think about someone

Someone I call sweet misery.



Yeah, of someone I call sweet misery

Someone I call sweet misery

Pretty baby of someone I call sweet misery

Someone I call sweet misery...
