Poor Thing - Joe Jackson

Just think of the millions and millions of people

Who could have existed but didn’t exist

Yet here we are

And the millions and millions of planets and stars

Never listed on anyone’s list

And here we are

But oh, what a life it is

Oh, what can we do

With you

Poor thing, everything’s tragic today

And your life’s a mess

Poor thing, maybe you like it that way

That could make sense, I guess

Just think of the millions and millions of horrible things

That can happen, that happen each day

But on we go

There must still be a few million chances

That just a few things could still turn out okay

So on we go

But oh, what a life it is

Oh, what can we do

With you

Poor thing, everything’s tragic today

And your life’s a mess

Poor thing, maybe you like it that way

That could make sense, I guess

Poor thing, everything’s tragic today

And your life’s a mess

Poor thing, maybe you like it that way

That could make sense, I guess
