When I'm feeling blue
I stick a pin in the picture of you
Beside my bed and I feel better
When I'm feeling sad
I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had
And I feel better
Don't you try to tell me
That I'm to blame
You're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name
When I'm feeling down
I just throw the clothes that you left here around
And I feel better
When I'm feeling great
It's only because I'm consumed with hate
For you and I feel better
Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame
When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name
When I'm in the mood
I shout all the swear words that you thought were rude
And I feel better
When I feel alone
I make obscene remarks on the telephone
To you and I feel better
Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame
When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name
When I'm feeling blue
I stick a pin in the picture of you
Beside my bed and I feel better
When I'm feeling sad
I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had
And I feel better
Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame
When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name
