It’s always, “If things get too bad you know who to call”

It’s always, “If things get too bad you don’t have to put up with it”

It’s always, “If things get too bad you have me”

It’s always, “If things get too bad”

But what about when things are just about as bad as they can get

Before I can make a phone call

Before I don’t have to put up with it anymore

Before I can have you

Before they get too bad, according to you

What is too bad, after all?

Things are bad enough for me to be miserable

To be so sad I can barely live anymore

But not too bad I can’t survive

Sometimes you have me waiting for the day things do get too bad

So I have someone to call

A right to not put up with it

You

An out

If things ever do get too bad, they won’t be so bad anymore

Because I’ll have more than I’ve ever had before
