One would think that maybe I had had enough It's just something to look forward to when I'm down on my luck I just can't seem to put down this pick me up I can almost smell the good of Friday night When they roll one up and offer me a light Well, I hate to be so blunt, but it's the only thing I want To just kick back and leave the week behind Why can't I seem to put down this pick me up? One would think that maybe I had had enough It's just something to look forward to when I'm down on my luck I just can't seem to put down this pick me up I just can't seem to put down this pick me up No, I just can't seem to put down this pick me up
