When Things Go Wrong

[PEPPERMAN]
I'm having enough difficulties with this divorce already without you poking your nose into it. What's the point of inventing a problem when it isn't there?

[Intro]
I can't sleep, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't sleep

[Verse 1]
My doctor said I've got to stay in bed
A week at least, a week or three
But that would drive me crazy
My lawyer said my case is weak
The witnesses refuse to speak
And I'm up against a hanging judge and jury

[Verse 2]
The boss is on my back
He said he feels there's something lacking in the progress
Of my department
My youngest boy, just turned thirteen
Said, "Dad, drop out, this ain't your scene"
But my eldest boy just said, "Dad, drop dead"

[Chorus]
Ooh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me
Ooh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me

[Verse 3]
My mother says she's still alive
Please call us up from time to time
If it's not too much trouble
It's for your father's sake
My yoga class said take the time to relax, relax, relax
But we're dining out with the Shultzes tonight
And I hate the Shultzes

[Chorus]
Ooh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me
Ooh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me

[Verse 4]
I never wake up in the morning
'Cause I never go to sleep at night
I go to bed, I take a powder
Maybe tonight's the night, the night, the night
Or all the cares of the day seem to gather in a corner
Like an army of ants who are waiting for the moment
When the lights go out

[Chorus]
Ooh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me
Ooh, when things go wrong, they really go wrong
And they rarely go right for me

[Outro]
I can't sleep, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't sleep
