Out of Its Misery

That's the way it goes
 You're going to have to
 See it through eventually
 Listen, I propose that
 Everybody show
 Some sort of sympathy
 'Cause all the highs and lows
 Are really wearing out
 Its elasticity
 There's no bouncing back
 No recovery
 Put it out of
 Its misery
 If you take my devotion
 And figure it as something
 You're due to accrue
 It's only emotion
 Winding up the motion
 We are going through
 And don't it break your heart
 To watch its little quiver
 On the avenue
 'Til it's crawling back
 On its only knee
 Put it out of
 Its misery
 Misery
 I can hear mercy, mercy me
 Letting this go on and on and on
 Endlessly
 That's the way it goes
 Everybody knows we're through
 So you see
 Your i-told-you-sos
 Weren't any help
 And now they're boring me
 Listen I propose
 That we might indulge
 A little luxury
 But there's no going back
 And it falls on me
 That it is murder
 'Cause I know, baby, only you
 Can put me out of my
 Misery
 Misery
 Misery
 Misery
