The Rolling Stones - Sad Day Lyrics

(Jagger/Richards)



Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette

Found myself when I stopped yawnin', started

getting myself dressed

Then I felt I had a dream, I remembered the

things I'd seen

I could still hear the things you said with that bad

dream in my head

It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day



So I called you on the phone and your friend said

"she's not home"

So I told her where I'd be at and that you should

call me back

Then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even

expecting a bill

Your letter a-started "Dear", and it left me

with these tears.

It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day



Think of the times that we had rows, but we

patched them up somehow

Think of the times I tried to go, but you screamed

and told me no

There is only one thing in this world that I can't

understand, that's a girl

I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad

dream in my head

It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day



Oh, what a sad, sad, old day - a sad, old day

It was a sad, old day

A sad, old day. It was a bad, old day,

sad old day a bad old day

If there is one awful thing in this world that I can't

understand, that's a girl

It was a sad, sad old day, sad old day

It was a sad, old day
