Shadows are fallin' all over town   Another night and these blues got me down   Oh misery, I sure could use some company   Since he's been gone, I ain't been the same   I carry the weight like an old ball and chain   Guess, it's all meant to be for love to cause me misery      Oh misery, oh misery   Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me   Seems it's my destiny   For love to cause me misery      And oh, I've been down this road before   With a passion it turns into pain   And each time I saw love walk out the door   I swore I never get caught again      But ain't it true, it takes what it takes   And sometime we get too smart to leave   One more heartache for me   Another night of misery, oh      Oh, oh misery, oh misery   Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me   Oh misery, oh misery   Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this   Heart make a fool of me?      Seems it's my destiny   For love to cause misery, oh   Misery, guess it's all meant to be   For love to cause me misery, oh no, yeah   Misery
