if i hadn't always been depressed ida climbed that golden ladder of sucess and if i hadn't been so blue thank misery for bringing me to you. if only ida stayed in my home town married my old sweetheart, settled down watched my belly swell a time or two thank misery for bringing me to you. thank misery, the years i've lost the drinks i've served, the friends i've tossed thank misery, she's had enough of me.... if i could go back in a time machine i wouldn't buy a ticket, well maybe but i'm so happy now i swear it's true thank misery for bringing me god bless the pain that set me free thank misery for bringing me to you
