Little sorrow, little pain
When you gonna go away?
'Cause I've been holding way too long
Don't think my hands are built that strong
In silence, I wait
But you keep on knocking at my door
Oh, one of these days
Something's gonna wake me up
I'm gonna hold on to it
Oh, one of these days
No more will I be swept up by the current, no, no
Oh, yeah-yeah
Midnight hour calls me on
Makes me sing this sad, sad, song
Little sorrow, little pain
Tell me, tell me when's it gonna end?
You see my glee's asleep
But you keep on tugging at my sleeve
Oh, one of these days
Something's gonna wake me up
I'm gonna hold on to it
Oh, one of these days
No more will I be swept up by the current, no, no, no
Oh, one of these days
I'm gonna hold on to it, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh-oh, one of these days
I won't be, said, I won't be
Swept up by the current, no, no, no
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, hmm
