TIRED
(Roberts / Fisher)

as recorded by Gale Storm 1956


Tired of the life I lead,
Tired of the blues I breed,
Tired of the things I need;
Gonna cut out wide and that's the truth,
Get a brand new guy while I got my youth!

Tired of the clothes I wear,
Tired of the patches there,
Tired of the crows I scare;
Gonna truck down town and spend my moo,
Get some short back shoes and a new guy too!

Washin' an' a-tubbin',
Cleanin' an' a-scrubbin',
Sure leaves my glamour with a scar!
A-mendin' and a-rockin',
A-scorchin' and a-sockin',
Don't make you look like Hedy Lamarr!

Tired of the tears I shed,
Tired of livin' in the red,
Tired of the same old bed;
Gonna do the things that I love to do,
'Cause I'm tired, mighty tired of you!

Tired of the life I lead,
Tired of the blues I breed,
Tired of the things I need;
Gonna cut out wide and that's the truth,
Get a brand new guy while I got my youth!

Tired of the clothes I wear,
Tired of the patches there,
Tired of the crows I scare;
Gonna move down town and spread my moo,
Get a short fam shoe and a new guy too!

Cleanin' an' a-moppin',
Dustin' an' a-shoppin',
Sure leaves your ego low!
Washin' an' a-scrubbin',
Starchin' an' a-sockin',
Don't make you look like no Marilyn Monroe!

Tired of the tears I shed,
Tired of livin' in the red,
Tired of the same old bed;
Gonna dress up fine like Cindy Lou,
Gonna do the things I know she'd do,
'Cause I'm tired, mighty tired of you!

Sure leaves your ego low!

Don't make you look like Marilyn Monroe!

Tired of the tears I shed,
Tired of livin' in the red,
Tired of the same old bed;
Gonna dress up fine like Cindy Lou,
Gonna do the things I know she'd do,
'Cause I'm tired, mighty tired of you!
