You Picked A Real Bad Time lyrics
by Billy Joel
Don't get me wrong,I ain't the kindTo turn away from you when something's on your mind.But you have to know,You just have to see,I'm having my troubles, babe, and they're all too much for me.You picked a real bad time to blow my concentrationYou picked a real bad time to pass along the bad newsTell me, why you tryin' to give me aggravationYou picked a real bad time, cause this man's got the bluesDon't get me wrong,You're not aloneAnd I'd like to help you, but I've got problems of my ownIt's a bitter phaseI'm going throughAnd I can run from strangers, darlin', but I just can't hide from you.You picked a real bad time to blow my concentrationYou picked a real bad time to pass along the bad newsYou caused a real hard line to invade my isolationYou picked a real bad time, cause this man's got the bluesAin't it the truth when they sayThat the only thing worth dying for is your freedomAin't it the proof that somedayWe will all be lying on our backsFree at last from income taxDon't get me wrongThe mood won't lastAnd I'll be myself again, soon as this pain has passedAnd I'm standing here,Don't ask me how,I'll make it up to you, someday but not right nowYou picked a real bad time to blow my concentrationYou picked a real bad time to pass along the bad newsTell me why you tryin' to give me aggravationYou picked a real bad time, cause this man's got the bluesAin't it the truth when they sayAll you need is love but all you'll want is forgivenessAin't it the proof that somedayEven love will not provide for manThe way that life insurance canYou picked a real bad time to blow my concentrationYou picked a real bad time to pass along the bad newsTell me, tell me, tell me why you tryin' to give me aggravationYou picked a real bad time, cause this man's got the blues.
