Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where was the moment when needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
[Verse 2]
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're fakin' a smile with a coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're fallin' to pieces ev'ry time
And I don't need no carryin' on
[Verse 3]
Because you had a bad day
You're takin' one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work on a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're comin' back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
[Verse 4]
You need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
[Verse 5]
You had a bad day
You're takin' one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work on a smile, then you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're comin' back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Ooh, want a holiday
[Verse 6]
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing it turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well all that strong
And I'm not wrong - no, no, no, no
[Verse 7]
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh, you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
[Verse 8]
Because you had a bad day
You're takin' one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work on a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You see what you like
And how does it feel, one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
