A Minor Variation

Some days I have to give right in to the blues 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 --- A Minor Variation - Billy Joel
