This Just Doesn't Seem To Be My Day
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
My pillow wrapped around my head
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind
She went away
This just doesn't seem to be my day
She didn't have to say a lot
Her pretty eyes revealed the plot
T'was someone else she wanted more
And so I walked her to the door
What could I say?
This just doesn't seem to be my day
My, oh my
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
How sad am I
(How sad am I)
How I wish she would have stayed
(Wish she would have stayed)
This just doesn't seem to be my day
My whole world is upside down
She turned my smile into a frown
It's such a pity, the shape I'm in
I must get on my feet again
Can't stay this way
This just doesn't seem to be my day
My, oh my
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
How sad am I
(How sad am I)
How I wish she would have stayed
(Wish she would have stayed)
This just doesn't seem to be my day
I guess I should have stayed in bed
My pillow wrapped around my head
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind
She went away
This just doesn't seem to be my day
