Sadness, sadness
Sadness, sadness, won’t go away,
sadness, sadness, ev’ry day.
Sadness, sadness, leave me be,
sadness, sadness, can’t you see
that sadness’ sadness is drowning me?
I’m told I should keep you away, you saddening sadness,
from the eyes, the only eyes,
that care, adulate, love, believe.
To people who say that, I can only reply:
a mile in my shoes, and fail when you try.
Goodbye, sadness, goodbye, goodbye.
