My, my, the time do fly    When it's in another pair of hands   And a loser I will be   For I've never been    a winner in my life   I got used to stressing pain   I used the sucker pills   to pity for the self   Oh, it's the animal in me   But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf      Don't be so forlorn,    it's just the payoff   It's the rain before the storm   On a better day, I'll take you by the hand   And I'll walk you through the doors   Don't be so forlorn,    it's just the payoff   It's the rain before the storm      Don't you let my letter get you down   Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you      My, my, but time do fly   When it's in another pair of pants   And illusion I will be   For I've never been a sinner,   la di da      Don't be so forlorn,   it's just the payoff   It's the rain before the storm   Don't you let my letter get you down   Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you      Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down   Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you   Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
