Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You yelled hey when your car wouldn't start
So you got real nervous and started to eat your heart out
Now you're so fat, your shoes don't fit on your feet
You got trouble
And it's tailor made
Well, mama, lay your head down in the shade
[Verse 2]
'Cause your eyes are tired and your feet are too
And you wish the world was as tired as you, whoa
Well, I'll write a letter and I'll send it away
And put all the trouble in it you had today
[Verse 3]
Oh, your telephone rang and you went, "Oh hello"
You forgot about this and you forgot about that
'Cause you got to get back to what you doing
Goodbye, click that so-and-so
You're an island and on your own
[Verse 4]
And you yelled hey when the stove blew up
Upset? Why yes
And the footprints on your ceiling, they're almost gone
And you're wondering why
Well, mama lay your head down, don't you cry
[Verse 5]
'Cause your eyes are tired and your feet are too
And you wish the world was as tired as you, whoa
Well, I'll write a letter and I'll send it away
And put all the trouble in int you had today
