[Verse 1]

Well, I got to feeling low for making light

Of whatever you said

The pain went straight in my head

Chopping me up, turning me to morose

You've got a thing or two coming soon

So I'll get out of your way

You're beat blue, blackened and bruised

Chopping it up at the end of the day

[Chorus]

You better step back and see the mess that you left

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Won't you tell it to somebody who cares?

You better step back and see the mess that you left

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Won't you tell it to somebody who cares?

I'm stumblin' all the way

'Cause it's not such a beautiful day

[Verse 2]

You stopped to see the show

But don't believe everything that you read

It's still stuck there in my head

Pulling me close, now that I'm here alone

Don't stop because of me

You'll never know just how long you'd have stayed

So sleep through the slackening screws

Cutting me loose at the end of the day

[Chorus]

You better step back and see the mess that you left

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Won't you tell it to somebody who cares?

You better step back and see the mess that you left

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Won't you tell it to somebody who cares?

I'm stumblin' all the way

'Cause it's not such a beautiful day

Stumblin' all the way

'Cause it's not such a beautiful day

[Bridge]

It's not such a beautiful day

But I'll stumble through all the same

The bright lights are fading away

It's not such a beautiful day

Bass

[Chorus]

You better step back and see the mess that you left

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Won't you tell it to somebody who cares?

You better step back and see the mess that you left

(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)

Won't you tell it to somebody who cares?

I'm stumblin' all the way

'Cause it's not such a beautiful day

Stumblin' all the way

'Cause it's not such a beautiful day
