Sad Song

No-one ever seems to see,
The little man inside of me,
The little man who stops to say,
Do you really want to be this way?
Do you really want to laugh and smile,
Would you rather not be sad a while?
Would you rather face the other way,
Do you want to try being sad today?
Do you want to try peering over that hump?
I’ll hold you back! I won’t let you jump!
I’ll hold you back! It’s my promise to you,
I just thought you might try a different view,
I just thought you might see what it’s like to be down,
Give it a go! You look good with a frown!
Give it a go! It’s better this way,
It’s better to hate your way through the day,
It’s better to look on the down side of life,
And it’s better to listen to me,
And I know, that you want to agree.
