I should be filling rooms with the sweet smell of success I'm a mess look at what I've been reduced to I don't blame you for sayin' no when you should have said yes But darlin', darlin', darlin', look at me now I'm a mess I'm a mess, I'm a wreck I'm really on the deck I'm a mess, look at how I'm living Some of these days I'm gonna get back On my feet and quit this blue address But darlin', darlin', darlin', in the meantime I'm a mess The smart set, I used to run around with are invisible now They all cut me loose when one said That what I've got might just rub of on Them somehow I'm a mess, for want of your caress Darlin', darlin', darlin', look at me now I'm a mess
