Straighten Out My Messed Up Life

[Refrain]
(Dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee)

[Verse 1]
You always say that you just love me
But you sneak around and think that I don't see
Like some blind fool

[Refrain]
(Dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee)

[Verse 2]
Your lying machine is working overtime
If truth were gold you wouldn't have a dime
To buy the golden rule

[Refrain]
(Dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee)

[Chorus]
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it's the last thing I ever do (my messed up life)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it means forgetting you

[Verse 3]
My life is slowly goin' down the drain
My one-way ticket on a downbound train
With no one but you

[Refrain]
(Dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee)

[Verse 4]
My fingers pointin' to the open door
Don't want your shadow on my floor
I quit, I'm through

[Refrain]
(Dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee)

[Chorus]
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it's the last thing I ever do (my messed up life)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it means forgetting you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it's the last thing I ever do (my messed up life)
I'm gonna straighten out my messed up life (my messed up life)
If it means forgetting you

[Refrain]
(Dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee)

[Outro]
My messed up life (dee, dee, dee, dee)
My messed up life (dee, dee, dee, dee)
My messed up life (dee, dee, dee, dee)
My messed up life (dee, dee, dee, dee)
My messed up life (dee, dee, dee, dee)
My messed up life
