You may be a cheap date
But my therapy's expensive as hell
Then you pay some psychic healer
Who let you know things aren't really working out so well
Tomorrow's shining off my face
Yesterday's shadow is at our back
Tell me why must you always dress in black?
People they don't take advice
They only give it
And the only way you're ever gonna learn
Is to live it
So what you spent your younger years
Parlaying on the wrong side of the track
Now tell me why must you always dress in black?
If you have to lie, do it quickly
And as quickly as you can
This morning I woke up slow
Feeling like a shell of a man
Don't blame me for I do cry
Cut me some slack, cut me some slack
Then tell me why must you always dress in black?
ย
Well, she wore high heels
She wore high heels, yeah
The ones that can
Pierce your, pierce your heart
Pierce your heart
Just 'cause you go down in history
Doesn't mean you're really all that smart
Like Robert E. Lee, you're at your best
When under attack
Then tell me why must you always dress in black
ย
You call in sick on Monday
Tuesday you show up late
Wednesday you left early
Thursday you fight with a boss you hate
Friday you up and quit
Saturday you want your old job back
Sunday morning you wake up
All dressed in black
Why must you always dress in black?
