Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's happenin'?
I haven't seen you all week
I was at work the other day, and
I couldn't really speak
But it's nice to see you
Although you're lookin' tired
A little less proud of what you have now
A little less wouldn't hurt
[Verse 2]
Another weeknight, we're propping the bar up
Another insight that won't count for too much
Whether or not it happens, I won't be around to see
He tells me again, that famous old story
The one that ends up in women and glory
Always knowing those things never happen to him
They happen to me
[Verse 3]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 4]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 5]
I've got to go
I think I've seen enough
It bothers me
To see you governed by bad stuff
It was nice to see you, man
But there's nothing behind the smile
I'm going back where we began
I think I'll be away a while
[Verse 6]
Another weeknight, we're propping the bar up
Another insight that won't count for too much
Whether or not it happens, I won't be around to see
He tells me again, that famous old story
The one that ends up in women and glory
Always knowing those things never happen to him
They happen to me
[Verse 7]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 8]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 9]
They happen to me
They happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 10]
Another weeknight, we're propping the bar up
Another insight that won't count for too much
Whether or not it happens, I won't be around to see
He tells me again, that famous old story
The one that ends up in women and glory
Always knowing those things never happen to him
They happen to me
[Verse 11]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 12]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 13]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
[Verse 14]
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
These things, that these things happen
That these things happen to me
They happen to me
