[Verse 1]
All day
I'm doing fine
'Cause there are things
To pass the time
Smoke a cig
And drink some tea
Watch a programme
On TV
I just don't care where you are now
'Cause I'm sorted out, and how
I've got it all set up, you see
But when I close my eyes, it happens to me

[Chorus]
You're a nightmare
And you've made it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, oh
You're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, it stopped some time in May
Whilst you were still away
Was I in bed or on a bus
Doing something pathetically ridiculous?
I never noticed it at first
But when you came back, it got worse
It's the idea of you, you see
When I close my eyes, it happens to me
[Chorus]
Oh, you're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, oh
You're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Why you should keep on
Happening to me
You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, oh
You're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Why you should keep on
Happening
Happening to me

[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh
And there were hotel bedroom birthdays
Sleep in factory hallways
I remember always
Yeah, there were hotel bedroom birthdays
And sleep in factory hallways
Yeah, I remember always
[Bridge]
Why do you keep on
Hanging round?
Oh, can't you see it gets me down?
'Cause when I look at you I see
Somebody I just don't want to be

[Chorus]
Oh, whoa, you're a nightmare
And you got it all wrong
Yeah, you're a nightmare to me
Oh, oh
You're a nightmare
And you just can't see
Why you should keep on
Happening to me
You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Yeah, you're a nightmare to me
Oh, oh
You're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Oh, why, why, you should keep on
Happening to me
You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Oh, you're a nightmare to me
Oh, oh
You're a nightmare
Oh, and I just can't see
Why you're
Why you're
[Outro]
You're always hanging around
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
Always hanging round
You're always hanging round
