WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU
SOME DAYS REALLY GET LONELY
WHEN YOU’VE LOST YOUR ONE AND ONLY
OTHER DAYS YOU FEEL BLUE
AND JUST CAN’T UNDERSTAND
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU’VE NEVER BEEN ALONE BEFORE
YOU THINK OF THINGS TO DO
AND WHEN YOU’VE CLEANED ALL THE FLOORS
YOU STILL WONDER—
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU GO FROM ROOM TO ROOM
JUST TO LOOK AND REMEMBER
THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE
YOU SEE DUST ON THE VASE
YOU LEAVE TO GET A DUST CLOTH
AND YOU RETURN TO FORGET
WHY YOU LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE
YOU STAND AND STEW
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU GO OUTSIDE TO BREATHE
AND LISTEN TO THE BIRDS SING
YOU WATCH THE RIPPLES ON THE LAKE
LOOK AT ALL THE LEAVES TO RAKE
A GREAT CALM COMES OVER YOU
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND REMEMBER THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING THE MATTER WITH YOU!
