Never Let Her Slip Away

Got a painting in your hand

Found a spot on the wall

You pull yourself together

To be a man once and for all

So you get your brand new toolbox from the garage

You pull out the hammer

And you start to pound

You don't really hit the nail

You hit an awful sound

That lets you know

You got a new five foot hole in the wall

People say that I can do nothing right

When I don't look on the bright side

I'm in trouble even on my lucky day

It's your holiday

Another day at the beach

Your phone is far away

And your work's finally out of reach

The only thing scheduled

Is your appointment with the sun

So you're just about ready

Putting all of your sunblock on

Then there's a kid

And a truck load of sand run along

Now you just have to start all over again

People say that I can do nothing right

When I don't look on the bright side

I'm in trouble even on my lucky day

Well you might believe I'm not the only one

I don't believe you're right

'Cause I'm in trouble even on my lucky day

It's the middle of the night

And you really have to go

But you want to be quiet

So you don't switch on the light

Thinking I should find my way in the dark by now

So you climb out of bed and you reach for the door

But you forgot all about the box you put there the night before

Now you're all awake staring at the pack of ice on your foot

People say that I can do nothing right

When I don't look on the bright side

I'm in trouble even on my lucky

Even on my lucky

I said even on my lucky day
