Billy Joel - A Minor Variation lyrics

Despite how I try to keep fightin'

It's a sure shot I'm going to lose

And I'll tell you why

You think I'm crazy

It's such a sad composition

But can you blame me

For what's been causing my bad disposition?

Ain't nothing new with my blue situation

And nothing's fine, it's just a minor variation

When troubles want to find me, I ain't hard to find

They know where I am

Like a hungry pack of wolves when it's feeding time

They tear up a man

And it's a strange thing

"Cause now it don't really matter

More of the same thing

Don't even hurt it's been part of the pattern

But still in all it's a small consulation

I just define it as a minor variation

Ain't now way to fight 'em darling

Ain't no way around 'em baby

Ain't now way to take 'em honey

Nowhere to hide and believe me I've tried to shake 'em

I'm getting to the point where I don't feel the pain

And I've had enough

I'm ready for the next time it hits me again

"Cause I've gotten tough

It doesn't faze me

And now I've made my decision

I may be crazy

It's not as though I don't know that condition

Until I'm through with this blue situation

Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

Ain't nobody's business, baby

Ain't nobody's worry darlin'

Ain't nobody's problem

No way to win when you've already been forgotten

And it's a strange thing

"Cause now it don't really matter

More of the same thing

Don't even hurt, it's a part of the pattern

Until I'm through with this blue situation

Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation
