Analysis of Misery Loves Company
Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)
They say that Misery
Loves Company and
You ain't getting None
of Mine
Miserable people
aren't too nice, happy or
too kind
I'd wish that they
would go away and
please get a clue
If you Hang around them
long enough you'll
become miserable too
So, don't let Misery
be your Company
It'll Bring you
down can't you see
You'll be miserable
bringing people down
And before you know
it No one will come around
They'll treat you like
you're invisible
Don't want you around
because your Miserable
You don't got No
friends it's No Mystery
IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU
AND YOUR MISERY!!
YOU AND MISERY CAN
KEEP EACH OTHER
COMPANY!!!
