You Picked a Real Bad Time — текст песни (Billy Joel)

Don`t get me wrong
I ain`t the kind
To turn away from you
When something`s on your mind
But you have to know
Just have to see
I`m having my troubles babe
And they`re all too much for me

You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along bad news
Tell me why you tried
To give me aggravation
You picked a real bad time
�Cause this man`s got the blues

Don`t you get me wrong
You`re not alone
I`d like to help ya
But I got problems of my own
It`s a bitter phase
I`m goin` through
And I can run from strangers darlin`
But I just can`t hide from you

You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along bad news
Tell me why you tried
To give me aggravation
You picked a real bad time
And I ain`t got time to lose

Ain`t it the truth
When they say
That the only thing worth dyin` for
Is our freedom
Ain`t it the rule
That someday
We will all be lying on our backs
Free at last from income tax

Don`t you get me wrong
The mood won`t last
And I`ll be myself again
Soon as this pain has passed
I`m standin` here
Don`t ask me how
I`ll make it up to you
Someday but not right now

You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along bad news
You caused a real hard line
You invade my isolation
You picked a real bad time
And this man`s got the blues

Ain`t it the truth
When they say
All you need is love
But all you`ll want is forgiveness
Ain`t it the rule
That someday
Even love will not provide for man
Who wastes a life insurance claim

You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along bad news
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why you tried
To give me aggravation
You picked a real bad time
�Cause this man`s got the blues

You picked a real bad time
