Lyrics

So we've been dealing with some healthcare issues down here lately. Out of the frustration of it all comes this. Strangely my first upload didn't take.

Lyrics:
I woke up this morning
feeling kind of tight
something took a hold of me
somewhere in the night
I said "Wife take a look at this
Tell me what you see"
She said "Man that looks so hideous,
Where the heck you've been?"
I thought
Oh no. Here I go Again

So I went to the doctor
wondering what could be
Everyone in the waiting room
moved a way from me
I said "Doc take a look at this.
Tell me what it is"
He started acting nervous
said "Call a Specialist!"
I thought Oh no, here I go again
No no no no no here I go again

That sounds like my life story
cause it always goes like this
I'm the kind of guy who
screws up getting sick
I wonder if I'll find someone
who'll tell me what this is
Or if I'll just have to learn to live with it
as part of what I am
Like a L shaped Tattoo on my forehead that says
I lose again!

So I went to the specialist
feeling even worse
filled the forms out in a hurry
gave them to the nurse
Sh said "Sir we'd like to help you,
You really look a mess.
But your insurance claim department
denies that you exist!
I thought, Oh no, here i go again
Conditions pre-existing are, I never win!
No no no no no here I go again
ohhhh Here i go again!

Then he handed me some ointment
said apply it to you skin
Prescribed a bunch of others
Anti-that and Anti-this
He said, "I don't think you're contagious
but i can't take the risk.
I called you wife, job, landlord,
the CDC and the President.
and told them
NO NO NO Stay Away From Him! "

That sounds like my life story
cause it always goes like this
I'm the kind of guy who
screws up getting sick
Perhaps some future scientists
will know just who i am
like, Lou Gehrig,Madame Curry,
a Patient Zero, or like that Elephant man.
No no no no no here I go again.
Is that what I am, Like that Elephant Man?
Well maybe I can get a bag like him,
and a movie deal, yeah
with Cher, or someone else
no no no no no
here i go again
