Lyrics: Rainy Days and Mondays
Talkin’ to myself and feelin’ old
Sometimes I’d like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin’ around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me downWhat I’ve got they used to call the blues
Nothin’ is really wrong
Feelin’ like I don’t belong
Walkin’ around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me downFunny but it seems I always wind up here
with you
Nice to know somebody loves meFunny but it seems that it’s the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves meWhat I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it’s all about
Hangin’ around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me downFunny but it seems that it’s the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves meWhat I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it’s all about
Hangin’ around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me downHangin’ around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down
