Lyrics of

Rhymes

	
Last night, the night before 
25 robbers at my door 
I got up and let 'em in 
But I missed 'em all with a rolling pin 
Took everything I own 
Like a king down from his throne 
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown 

I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown

Just all about to send it southside 
Even though I know you are tired
Now it's time for love again 
Pain is found and finally went
They took everything I own 
Like a king without his throne 
I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown 

I can't let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown 

All is fair in love and war 
What do you think I'm here for
Tell 'em about the righteous one
Then we'll cause some mellow fun
It'll never happen again 
Taht you bust your way in 
I can't let it get me down 
Change my smile into a frown 

I can't let it get me down 
Change my smile into a frown
