Got a long list of things to do And it begins and ends with gettin' over you I can't quit 'til I'm through I get up with the sun and I go down with the moon Pain and tears can't be all there is Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under? Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel Gonna dig me a hole and make it deep I'm gonna lay it down, what's left of us And then put this thing to sleep Let my soul rest in peace I'm gotta nail down the lid on these stone cold memories Pain and tears can't be all there is Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under? Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel Pain and tears can't be all there is Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under? Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel
