[Verse 1]
Yes, I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my skies
I was doing all right
Till you came by

[Verse 2]
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by

[Bridge]
But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and I suffer all day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder

[Verse 3]
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now

[Bridge]
Now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and I suffer all day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder
