Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a mess
[Verse 2]
I should be filling rooms with the sweet smell of success
I'm a mess
Look at what I've been reduced to
I don't blame you for saying no when you should have answered yes
But darling darling darling look at me now
I'm a mess
[Verse 3]
I'm a mess, I'm a wreck
I'm really on the deck
[Verse 4]
I'm a mess
Look at how I'm living
Some of these days I'm gonna get back on my feet
And quit this blue address
But darling darling darling in the meantime
I'm a mess
[Verse 5]
The smart set I used to run around with are invisible now
They all cut me loose when one said
That what I've got might just rub off on them somehow
I'm a mess
For want of your caress
Darling darling darling look at me now
I'm a mess
