It Means "Happy"

Sometimes I get a kick out of pairing happy-sounding music with less-than-cheery words. Today was one of those occasions.

Robert Gay - “Bad Mood”

You can take a do and make it don’t
You can take a will and make it won’t
You can take a look, and turn me into stone

You can take a yes and make it no
You can take the sun and make it snow
You can take a walk, ‘cause Babe, it’s time to go

Oh, and I won’t miss you
I won’t kiss you

You always put me in a bad mood
You always put me in a bad mood
You always put me in a world of trouble,
Burst my bubble, Turn my attitude
You always put me in a bad mood

You can take a smile and make it cry
You can take a well and make it dry
You can take a love, and make it start to die

You can take a win and make it lose
You can take my skin and make it bruise
You can take a walk in someone else’s shoes

Oh, and I won’t miss you
I won’t kiss you

(Repeat Chorus)

I won’t miss the times we had
I won’t miss the good gone bad
I won’t miss the mess you put me through

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
