I took a walk around the yard
I dug the flowers till it got too hard
Smoked my first pack of cigarettes today

Then I, I went down, down to Lucy's old cafe
I put a half a case away
Took a sleeping pill and I tried to watch TV
But you know baby, the leading lady looked too much like you for the likes of me

And I woke up crying in my sleep
I was talking to your pillow
And I reached out to touch your hand
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said,
' May I help you please？

And I said ' No thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me.'
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream



Went out to loosen up the car
Somehow I wound up at the rainbow Bar
I had a scotch and soda on the run
But didn't get too far Then I
I ran down, down some friends I used to know
I dragged them out to see the show
I ran myself a bath and I tried to read your book
But you know baby, this time it just didn't seem worth all the time it look

And I woke up crying in my sleep
I was talking to your pillow
And I reached out to touch your hand
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said
' May I help you please？

And I said'No thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me.'
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream

That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream
