YOU'RE THE GREATEST THING

I forgot to pay the power bill

Now I’m sitting in the dark

They towed away my car today

Didn't like the way I parked

I died my hair and turned it green

With a subtle tint of blue

A baseball came through my window

And the puppy ate my shoes

Boy do I need you….

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You turn my crisis to a comedy

Say it’s just an interlude

I’m a classic example

Of the trials we go through

And while we laugh until it hurts

You’re fixing everything

If my life is a collection

You’re the greatest thing

~~*~~

The boss said they’re downsizing

That he’ll have to let me go

I've had three potential roommates

Not a single one has showed

I left my purse in the café

Hurried back, but it was gone

No surprise the bank calls

To say I’m overdrawn

I threw my hands up in the air

And thought man what do I do

My bad luck's turning chronic

Boy do I need you…

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You turn my crisis to a comedy

You say it’s just an interlude

I’m a classic example

Of the trials we go through

And while we laugh until it hurts

You’re fixing everything

If my life is a collection

You’re the greatest thing

~~*~~

Cooking a meal to thank you

Caused a blaze inside the stove

The fire truck came and ruined

Every single thing I own

The landlord said he’s done with me

That I've made the building stink

I guess I'm not a classic

Just a bummer of a jinx

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

You said a jinx hurts other people

You just hurt yourself

And I think fate put me down here

Because you sure need my help

No it doesn't ever get to me

I like helping you with things

I’m just glad you didn't kill yourself

Before I paid off this ring

You’re the greatest thing

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You turn my crisis to a comedy

You say it’s just an interlude

I’m a classic example

Of the trials we go through

And while we laugh until it hurts

You’re fixing everything

If my life is a collection

You’re the greatest thing
