I've got my reasons
For being unhappy
All my very closest friends say, Bill
You don't ever smile
But I don't find laughter
In a love that just walked out my door
I ain't laughing no more
I've been sitting 'round the house
In my worn out tennis shoes
Since my sled broke down baby
There ain't nothing I can do
So go on baby
And be what you wanna be
Yeah but your very best friend
Got her eye
Set on me
You left me smoldering here
Crying in your smoke
All it seems I ever was to you baby
Was a good time and a joke
So go on baby
And be what you wanna be
Yeah but your very best friend
Got her eye
Set on me
Yes you could really make love baby
You sure could do it right
But every time there's a man you want
You'd cross an L.A. red light
So go on baby
And step where you please
But if me and your girlfriend drive by
I'm gonna run you down in the street
'Cause I've got my reasons darlin'
For being unhappy
I've got my reasons for feeling
So low down and blue
But if I were to step on your feet
You would be unhappy too
