Misery

(album: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Barrett Strong - 2003)

I'm alone in misery
I couldn't find nobody to love for me
I've been hurt and I've been scorned
And had no loving since you've been gone

Misery, oh misery
You're killing me

Oh, mama no
I said I wouldn't fall in love no more
Now since I've lost everything I had
My hearts broken and I'm feeling so sad

Misery, oh this misery
It's killing me

Day and night I pace the floor
Hoping I'll be happy once more
My life's an up, and it's such a shame
I lost my girl, and have no one to blame

Now now, misery
Oh, this misery
It's killing me

I said a long long, long ago
I said I wouldn't fall in love no more
Now since I lost everything I had
My heart's broken and I'm feeling so sad

No no, misery
Oh, misery
You're killing me

Get away, get away, get away from me
Oh misery, you're killing me
No no, get away, get away
Oh, misery you're killing me
