Down - Jacky Boy

Happy with or without what you want

Think about the things you have

And let them be enough

Then pretend your life is in your hands

Tell yourself you’d ever be content with it

Down again

At least it only took so long to know

I’m wrong again

Happy with or without someone else

Convince yourself you’re better off

And you don’t need the help

Meanwhile you’re obsessed with the signs

You think that you’ve been given

Until you realize

Down again

At least it only took so long to know

I’m wrong again

So I’m out again

And it won’t be very long

Before I’m down and out again

I wish that when I want somebody

I didn’t want anyone else

But I know I’d go for anybody

Who didn’t want the same for themselves
