Moody People
Today started out bright and shiny
Then suddenly turned cloudy and sad
Doesn't take much to turn it around
To change a good day to bad
Something that seems so insignificant
Can change the mood of the day
Like rain that falls that wasn't predicted
Or snow in the middle of May
They call us guys moody people
They wonder why we're up and down
It's quite uncontrollable most of the time
We'd much rather smile than frown
So if you see me with a frown on my face
Remember it's nothing you said
It's just this up and down mood I get in
Much rather be upbeat instead
Lately I've been much more up than down
Happy it's not the other way round
Don't want to put an end to it any time soon
Decided I'd still like to hang around
Have no fear, love life way too much
To do myself some bodily harm
Would be totally contrary to who this guy is
You'll never say, “he bought the farm!”
