lyrics

Good night
I sleep the whole day through
Good times
Think I’ll write a Sunday tune
All fired up by Wednesday,
It’s Friday soon
No? Who would turn down all the weekend play

When you say to me
That we're the writing on a dead letter
I will give you just what you need
Cause' bad times will get better
Bad times will get better
Bad times will get better

Do you feel hopeless?
Got to pay the Monday dues
Fleeting good times
Now to play the Tuesday blues
I’m all fired up by Wednesday
It’s Friday soon
Now, who’ll talk me down from the edge of doom?

When I say to you
That we're a little worse for the weather
You just smile at me and I know
That bad times will get better
Bad times will get better
Bad times will get better

When you say to me
That we're lost now and forever
I will show you how to believe
That bad times will get better
Bad times will get better
Bad times will get better
