Born under the wrong sign
Trouble is my middle name
Born under the wrong sign
Every day turns out the same
But it’s so hard to see the light
When you’re born under the wrong sign
Wrong sign
Wrong sign
Cast out’a the wrong mold
Sorry is no way that I feel
Cast out’a the wrong mold
Singin’ my blues is for real
But it’s so hard to see the light
When you’re born under the wrong sign

Born under the wrong sign
Trouble is my middle name
Born under the wrong
Every day turns out the same
But it’s so hard to see the light
When you’re born under the wrong sign
Wrong sign
Wrong sign
