Sad Sad World Lyrics

I know you hate me,
I see that now
If I was unhappy,
I'd be someone you could still care about
I think it's stupid and sad
That everything turned out so bad
And enemies make the most interesting friends

I'm gonna write you a long letter
I'm gonna get you on the telephone
Three little words to make it all better
Maybe I'll leave this whole thing alone

Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And I'm a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around

We're too much alike
For our own good
We both hate fighting
No matter how misunderstood

Well, I want to tell you
That you're stubborn
And I want to tell you
I never lied
And I want to tell you
That your friends talk way too much
And I want to know
What happened to that friend of mine

Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And I was a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around

Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And I'm a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
I remember every fucked up minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around

This song RULES! I think it's a shame more people haven't heard it (It was a freakin' B-side. Oy!) The meaning is pretty straightforward. Man this song rules so much.

Too right, I love to listen to this track, I've got the special edition 2 CD "Sheryl Crow" album and without it I would probably never have heard it, what a crime that it wasn't on the regular version.

Are you sure? We got it on the main album in Australia.

It's definitely on the main version in OZ! I'm actually really surprised it wasn't on the US version, as it's such a standout song.

Apparently it wasn't included on the US version to avoid the Parental Advisory sticker being slapped on!
