It Ain t Easy Bein Me lyrics

There ought to be a town out there,
Named for how I feel.
Yeah I could be the mayor down there,
And say welcome to Sorryville.
It won t be on a map nowhere,
You might say that it doesn t exist,
But if you make enough wrong turns
It d be hard to miss.

There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could dedicate to me.
I d probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline;
Walk on over to the other side
And there I d light a match
And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
Wonderin how I m ever gonna get back.

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and curse the dark;
I need your love but I break your heart;
And I know the words that ll bring you back,
But I don t say nothin as I watch you pack.
I had to work to be the jerk I ve come to be;
It ain t easy bein me.

Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me;
Yeah I could be the star of the show
With my name on the marquee.
In a room with a big red button that says "Do Not Touch,"
And twice a day I d mash it down
And you could watch me self-destruct.

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and curse the dark;
I need your love but I break your heart;
And I know the words that ll bring you back,
But I don t say nothin as I watch you pack.
I had to work to be the jerk I ve come to be;
It ain t easy bein me.
