Lyrics
(verse 1) I didn't go to work, never even got out of bed, Took a couple aspirins, but it didn't help my head, Couldn't eat at breakfast, lunch was just a beer, It's only been a week like this, but it feels like a year, Wish I had hepatitis, no way it could be, Worse than what that woman did to me
(verse 2) I got a hundred aches and pains, pretty much everywhere, My stomach is a war zone, and I don't even care, I haven't shaved or brushed my teeth, I haven't washed at all, I think my whole body needs, a major overhaul, Wish I had diphtheria, no way it could be, Worse than what that woman did to me
(verse 3) Answering the telephone, doesn't interest me somehow, Haven't looked at emails, there must be a ton by now, If they took an X-ray, it would be a blur, Can't make myself think about anything but her, Wish I had anthrax, no way it could be, Worse than what that woman did to me
