Sometimes I get so sad
Sometimes you just make me mad
It's a sad and beautiful world
It's a sad and beautiful world
Sometimes I just won't go
Sometimes I can't say 'no'
It's a sad and beautiful world
It's a sad and beautiful world
Sometimes days go speeding past
Sometimes this one seems like the last
It's a sad and beautiful world
It's a sad and beautiful world
