I'd Hate to Be

Excuse me doctor, have you got some time
I'd like an educated look into this head of mine
you see I don't love my wife and she don't love me
and i don't really want to be here can't you see

Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad

I hope she reads my note to say I've gone away
but I had no excuse for why I had to stay
so I sent out invitations to people in this town
party at my house and I burned the damn thing down

Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad

Before you say I'm crazy
please let me have my say
they stole away my marbles
they would not let me play
happily in my new home
pretty pictures having fun
I really like my new coat
but the sleeves are far too long

Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad
Hate to be the one to tell you I am going mad

Before they say I'm crazy
please let me have my say
they stole away my marbles
they would not let me play
happily in my new home
pretty pictures having fun
I really like my new coat
but the sleeves are far too long

(N. deJong) (2:28)
