Sometimes I don’t mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain
Sometimes I don’t mind the fun times
Sometimes they’re all the same

When I’m thinking of you
There’s a fever around I don’t know what to do
When I’m drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues

Sometimes I don’t mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rest
Sometimes I don’t mind a good time
Sometimes I do what’s best

When I’m thinking of you
Then I leave her alone this is sad this is true (?)
When I’m drinking to you
I get down in the mouth tell me what can I do

Sometimes I don’t mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the change
Sometimes I don’t mind a fun time
To me it’s all the same

When I’m thinking of you
There’s a feeling inside which is long overdue
When I’m drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues

Sometimes I don’t mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain
Sometimes I don’t mind the good times
Sometimes they’re all the same

When I’m thinking of you
There’s a fever around I don’t know what to do
When I’m drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues
