Just knew things had to be goin' my way
I'll be to work with time to spare
but the left front tire was out of air
CHORUS
Woe...oh, woe is me
up against another cold brick wall
If it wasn't for this bad luck, baby
I'd have no luck at all
Called up my girlfriend, she crooned "Hi Dad"
Oddest conversation I ever had
I was concerned and strangely hurt
When she said, "You sound real funny, Burt" (falsetto)
Said, "This here's Jake, you talkin' to me?"
Silence on the line. I said, "Burt? Who's he?"
"It's lucky you happened to call" (falsetto)
A cold wind blew, I felt my skin crawl
CHORUS
Woe...oh, woe is me
up against another cold brick wall
If it wasn't for this bad luck, baby
I'd have no luck at all
Talked to a producer 'bout a song I wrote
it had hooks and rhythmn, this tune will float
the words were bad, the licks seemed fine
He said, "sounds just like a song of mine"
CHORUS
Woe...oh, woe is me
up against another cold brick wall
If it wasn't for this bad luck, baby
I'd have no luck at all
I'd have absolutely no luck at all
