In The Mood
Bart & Baker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woe is me,
I'm as blue as anyone can be,
I feel like a weepin' willow tree,
I'm in a cryin' mood.

Pair by pair,
I see happy lovers everywhere,
But the one I love don't seem to care,
I'm in a cryin' mood.

Each day I'm on my ownsome,
Blue Mondays, rain or shine!
I'll say this world is lonesome,
I'm just the lonesome kind.

Why, oh why
Did he have to go and say goodbye?
Seems the moon is low and so am I!
I'm in a cryin' mood.

Each day I'm on my ownsome,
Blue Mondays, rain or shine!
I'll say this world is lonesome,
I'm just the lonesome kind.

Why, oh why
Did he have to go and say goodbye?




Seems the moon is low and so am I!
I'm in a cryin' mood.
