Royal billy joe there's a method to my sadness lyrics

Every day begins the same

I call in sick so they won't forget my name

I watch some afternoon T.V.

I stare at the strangers out in the street

My friends are scared of what I might do next

But it's the same routine since the day you left



There's a method to my sadness

A certain style to my blues

I can't afford to let a day go by

Without a tear or two (just a tear or two)

I keep track of all the memories

There isn't one I want to lose

There's a method to my sadness

Makin' the most of losin' you



I talk to your pictures by my bed

Got a list of things I wish I'd said

I dial your number when I know you won't be home

Just to hear your voice on the code-a-phone (on the code-a-phone)

I'm doin' everything I know how to do

To spend my future, like the past, with you



There's a method to my sadness

A certain style to my blues

I can't afford to let a day go by

Without a tear or two (just a tear or two)

I keep track of all the memories

There isn't one I want to lose

There's a method to my sadness

Makin' the most of losin' you

There's a method to my sadness

Makin' the most of losin' you
