Charlie Bookout Studio Works - It Could Be Worse Lyrics

Oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse, oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
Oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse, oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
It could be worse

It could be that I grew tired of corny love stories and had to make one on my own
It could be that my folks raised a peasant not yet ready for the throne
Wouldn't it be a kick if I just needed some inspiration and I had nothing to write about?
It could be that I was drowning in security and gasping for some doubt
Everyone agrees

Everybody say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
The president say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
The church says: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
My friends say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse

I can't write what I feel, there ain't enough ink in my quill
Curse this strength, curse this force of will
Curse me, just curse me Calamity
Curse me, and set me to be

It could be that there was another woman I haven't actually met
She may be fine, but how can she ever meet the standards that you set
It could be that you never were, and I'm at the lousy end of a pretty good tune
It could be that the audience was bored and, so sorry, but I must be leaving soon
Everyone agrees

All the people say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
The television say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
Part of my mind say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
My mother say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse

I can only know what I've always known
That emotions seem to have a mind of their own
Curse me, just curse me Calamity
Curse me, and set me to be

There might have been too many four-leaf clovers, and I started thinking I was rich
It could be that I was coming down with a dreaded case of the four year itch
It could be that your friends took you away from me, then I could blame someone else
But it could be that you were terrified while you watched me take away myself

I can only know what I've always known
That emotions seem to have a mind of their own
Curse me, just curse me Calamity

The world says: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
The government says: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
The obituary says: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse
You say: oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse

Oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse, oh oh, nah nah, it could be worse

Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
