Once upon a time   They called me the bleeder  Well swimmin' up this river  With sentimental fever  But this ain't my first ride  It ain't my last try  Just got to keep a-movin' on  If they catch me ever  They'll throw me back forever    [chorus:]  I guess I should be ashamed  But I forget to be vain  Well I did the best I could I guess  But everything just bleeds  They say you're only sad and lonely  And no one is impressed    I sent it off in a letter  I need somethin' better  Than a nail and a hammer   To put me back together  But this ain't my first ride   It ain't my last try  Just got to keep a-movin on  Got to keep this together  Maybe next time is never    [chorus]    Sometimes I must confess  I do feel a little over dressed  Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well  Where you threw the penny and where it fell    I guess I should I should be ashamed  But I forget to be vain  Well I did the best I could I guess  But everything just bleeds  I guess I should be ashamed    But I forget to be vain  Well I did the best I could I guess  But everything just bleeds  They say you're only sad and lonely  And no one is impressed
