I'm a Mess

I'm a mess

I should be filling rooms
With the sweet smell of success
I'm a mess
Look at what I've been reduced to
I don't blame you
For sayin' no when you should have answered yes
But darlin', darlin', darlin', look at me now
I'm a mess

I'm a mess, I'm a wreck
I'm really on the deck
I'm a mess, look at how I'm living
One these days I'm gonna get back on my feet and quit this blue address
But darlin', darlin', darlin', in the meantime
I'm a mess

The smart set
I used to run around with they're invisible now
They all cut me loose
When one said that what I've got might just rub off on them somehow
Hey I'm a mess, oh
For want of your caress
Ah, darlin', darlin', darlin', look at me now
I'm a mess
