I'm a mess I should be filling rooms With the sweet smell of success I'm a mess, look at what I've been reduced to I don't blame you for saying no When you should have answered yes But darling, darling, darling, Look at me now I'm a mess I'm a mess, I'm a wreck, I'm really on the deck I'm a mess, look at how I'm living Some of these days I'm gonna get back on my feet And quit this blue address But darling, darling, darling, Look at me now, I'm a mess The smart set I used to run around with Are invisible now They all cut me loose when one said that What I've got might just rub off on them somehow I'm a mess for want of your caress Darling, darling look at me now, I'm a mess
