Straighten Out My Messed Up Life

(album: Red Rubber Ball (A Collection) - 1991)

(Dee dee dee dee)
(Dee dee dee dee)

You always say that you just love me
But you sneak around and think that I don't see
Like some blind fool

(Dee dee dee dee)
(Dee dee dee dee)
Your lie machine is working overtime
If truth were gold you wouldn't have a dime
To buy the golden rule

(Dee dee dee dee)
(Dee dee dee dee)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it's the last thing I ever do (my messed up life)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up li-i-ife)
If it means forgetting you

My life is slowly going down the drain
My one-way ticket on a downbound train
Was no one but you

(Dee dee dee dee)
(Dee dee dee dee)
My fingers pointing to the open door
Don't want your shadow on my floor
I quit I'm through

(Dee dee dee dee)
(Dee dee dee dee)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it's the last thing I ever do (my messed up life)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up li-i-ife)
If it means forgetting you

I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it's the last thing I ever do (my messed up life)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up li-i-ife)
If it means forgetting you

(Dee dee dee dee)
(Dee dee dee dee)
My messed up life (dee dee dee dee)
My messed up life (dee dee dee dee)
My messed up life (dee dee dee dee)
My messed up life (dee dee dee dee)
My messed up life (dee dee dee dee)
My messed up life
