Once upon a time
  They called me the bleeder
  Well swimmin' up this river
  With sentimental fever
  But this ain't my first ride
  It ain't my last try
  Just got to keep a-movin' on
  If they catch me ever
  They'll throw me back forever
    [chorus:]
  I guess I should be ashamed
  But I forget to be vain
  Well I did the best I could I guess
  But everything just bleeds
  They say you're only sad and lonely
  And no one is impressed
    I sent it off in a letter
  I need somethin' better
  Than a nail and a hammer
  To put me back together
  But this ain't my first ride
  It ain't my last try
  Just got to keep a-movin on
  Got to keep this together
  Maybe next time is never
    [chorus]
    Sometimes I must confess
  I do feel a little over dressed
  Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well
  Where you threw the penny and where it fell
    I guess I should I should be ashamed
  But I forget to be vain
  Well I did the best I could I guess
  But everything just bleeds
  I guess I should be ashamed
    But I forget to be vain
  Well I did the best I could I guess
  But everything just bleeds
  They say you're only sad and lonely
  And no one is impressed
