Needed a car, looked around for a week   For two dollars down I signed my name on the lease   There was a knock on my door, old man wants his keys   All he said was something about bankruptcy      Oh no, here we go   There ain't no day that's different from the day you know that   Life's too short for days like these   Try to close my eyes and just go back to sleep   It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees   Life's too short for days like these      Minding my own business in a restaurant   Trying to get some dinner but then guess what?   Some chick got there I slept with, threw her drink in my face   And then her ugly brother kicked my ass all over the place      Oh no, here we go   Ain't no day that's different from the day you know that   Life's too short for days like these   Try to close my eyes and just go back to sleep   It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees   Life's too short for days like these   Too short baby      I met her last night at quarter to three   I couldn't believe that she came home with me   Woke up this morning scratching now I know when to leave   They say you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas      You know that life's too short for days like these   Try to close my eyes and just go back to sleep   It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees   Life's too short for days   Life's too short for days like these   Seems like lately baby it's all trick or treat   I'd get up and dance if I could get on my feet      Life's too short for days   Life's too short for days   Life's too short for days like these      Life's too short for days like these   Wish I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep   It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees   Cause life's too short   You know that life's too short for days like these   They say life's too short
