Last night, the night before
25 robbers at my door
I got up and let 'em in
But I missed 'em all with a rolling pin
Took everything I own
Like a king down from his throne
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
Just all about to send it southside
Even though I know you are tired
Now it's time for love again
Pain is found and finally went
They took everything I own
Like a king without his throne
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
All is fair in love and war
What do you think I'm here for
Tell 'em about the righteous one
Then we'll cause some mellow fun
It'll never happen again
That you bust your way in
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
