The Original Mixed-Up Kid
Ian Hunter
The original mixed-up kid
Sleeps with the ladies all night
Home in the morning light
To nothin'
Climbs in to an empty bed
Pillows around his head
Hide the tears he sheds
For no one
And Byron said happiness is born it's twin
In those who share, for they will always win
But what about the man who tries so hard
But his heart is locked within
The original mixed-up kid
Must have been at the end of the line
When they gave out the forms to sign
For someone
And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go
Ain't there a heaven, ain't there a hell, well he just don't know
For in a crowded street, he can see the sleet
While the other men just see the snow
The original mixed-up kid
Be on your conscience bound
For you turned him upside down
For nothin'
