Dear Abby (Live At The Other End) versuri

Dear Abby (Live At The Other End) lyrics by John Prine

Verse 1
Dear Abby, dear Abby, my feet are too long
My hair’s falling out and my rights are all wrong
My friends they all tell me that I’ve no friends at all
Won’t you write me a letter? Won’t you give me a call?
Signed, Bewildered

Chorus
Bewildered, Bewildered, you have no complaint
You are what you are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up, buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Verse 2
Dear Abby, dear Abby, my fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren’t so expensive, I’d wish I were dead
Signed, Unhappy

Chorus
Unhappy, Unhappy, you have no complaint
You are what you are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up, buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Verse 3
Dear Abby, dear Abby, you won’t believe this
But my stomach makes noises whenever I kiss
My girlfriend tells me it’s all in my head
But my stomach tells me to write you instead
Signed, Noise-maker

Chorus
Noise-maker, Noise-maker, you have no complaint
You are what you are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up, buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Verse 4
Dear Abby, dear Abby, well, I never thought
That me and my girlfriend would ever get caught
We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed, Just Married

Chorus
Just Married, Just Married, you have no complaint
You are what you are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up, kiddos, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood
Signed, Dear Abby
