Rainy Days and Mondays
The Carpenters Lyrics

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
I find myself alone and feeling older than my years, talking to myself as if trying to find some form of company in my own thoughts.

Sometimes I'd like to quit
Occasionally, I feel as if giving up or quitting would be easier than the constant struggle I face every day.

Nothin' ever seems to fit
I always feel out of place, like nothing in my life aligns with what I truly need or want.

Hangin' around
I find myself doing little to occupy my time, often just lingering or remaining in one place.

Nothin' to do but frown
Without anything positive to focus on, all I am left to do is frown with a sense of dissatisfaction and sadness.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
I tend to feel worse on days that are gloomy and wet, or on the first day of the work week.

What I've got they used to call the blues
The emotions I am experiencing are often referred to as the blues, a sense of sadness or depression that can be difficult to shake.

Nothin' is really wrong
While there may be no specific problems or issues to identify, I still feel a general sense of malaise or dissatisfaction with my life.

Feelin' like I don't belong
I often feel like I do not fit in or belong anywhere, like something intrinsic to me is different from everyone else.

Walkin' around
I sometimes find myself wandering without purpose or direction, unsure of what to do or where to go.

Some kind of lonely clown
I feel like a sort of sad clown, performing a show for an audience of no one, trying to find some satisfaction or joy in a life that often feels empty.

Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
It is strange and unexpected, but I often find myself in this negative headspace with you by my side.

Nice to know somebody loves me
Despite my negative feelings, it is comforting to know that I have someone in my life who cares for me.

Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)
Sometimes, when I am feeling low, I feel as if I need to go searching for love and affection from someone who cares for me.

No need to talk it out (talk it out)
Sometimes it is easier to just sit with my emotions and feelings, rather than trying to talk them out and find an immediate solution or response.

We know what it's all about
Between us, we understand the nature of these negative emotions and feelings, even if we cannot always articulate them clearly.

Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Once again, I find myself with little to do or occupy my time, just lingering or remaining in one place.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Like before, I find myself struggling on gloomy or wet days, or at the start of the work week.

Nothin' to do but frown
Without anything positive to focus on, all I am left to do is frown with a sense of dissatisfaction and sadness.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Once again, I find myself struggling on gloomy or wet days, or at the start of the work week.

Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Once again, I find myself with little to do or occupy my time, just lingering or remaining in one place.

Nothin' to do but frown
Without anything positive to focus on, all I am left to do is frown with a sense of dissatisfaction and sadness.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
As before, I find myself struggling on gloomy or wet days, or at the start of the work week.
