Lyrics

I've been downhearted, baby

I've been down, I've been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

Ever since the day we met

I've been downhearted, baby

I've been down, I've been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met

Ever since the day we met

Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep

Moonlight spills on comic books

And superstars in magazines

An old friend calls and tells us where to meet

Her plane takes off from Baltimore

And touches down on Bourbon Street

Ooh

We sit outside and argue all night long

About a god we've never seen

But never fails to side with me

Sunday comes and all the papers say

Ma Teresa's joined the mob

And happy with her full-time job

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

Am I alive for thoughts that drift away?

Does summer come for everyone?

Can humans do what prophets say?

And if I die before I learn to speak

Can money pay for all the days

I lived awake but half-asleep

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

A life is time, they teach you growing up

The seconds ticking killed us all

A million years before the fall

You ride the waves and don't ask where they go

You swim like lions through the crest

And bathe yourself in Zebra flesh

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

I've been downhearted, baby, I've been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby, I been down, I been downhearted, baby

Ever since the day we met, ever since the day we met

I been downhearted, baby
