Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Talking to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hanging around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
[Verse 2]
What I've got they used to call "the blues"
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
[Verse 3]
Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (The one who loves me)
[Verse 4]
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (Talk it out)
We know what it's all about
Hanging around (Hanging around)
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
[Verse 5]
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (Only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me
[Verse 6]
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (Talk it out)
We know what it's all about
Hanging around (Hanging around)
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
[Verse 7]
Hanging around (Hanging around)
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get
Me down
