[Verse 1]
Listen to the leaves and the trees
They're singing such a mellow song for me
Hearing the autumn breeze
I find myself feeling empty but free
Hear the cry of the wolf (Ooh)
It's the only cry I ever understood

[Refrain]
It feels so good to be in a bad mood
I love to be in a bad mood

[Verse 2]
Wherever there is love, it flees (Yeah)
Counterreactions come naturally
Hearing the autumn breeze (Ooh)
I'm finally hearing melodies
Solemn songs 'bout my girlhood (Ooh)
Those arе the only songs I ever undеrstood
Wrapping me up in colours of blue

[Refrain]
Put me in a bad mood
(What? What? What? Hold up)
(What? What? What? Hold up)
I love to be in a bad mood
(What? What? What? Hold up)
(What? What? What? Hold up)
[Chorus]
Put my record on and
Soaking up the black sun
Stomping down the avenue, oh
I just wanna dream and some
Till the winter's dead and gone
I'll be writing love songs for you, oh

[Verse 3]
There's an evil wind in the streets
It's the own highway's call to me
Your tears are tasting sweet (Mm)
Makes it so much harder to leave
I'd give it all up if I could, but
That's the only time I never understood
So please be good, yeah

[Refrain]
I hate to leave you in a bad mood
(What? What? What? Hold up)
(What? What? What? Hold up)
I hate to leave you, I hate to see you in a bad mood
(What? What? What? Hold up)
(What? What? What? Hold up)

[Chorus]
Put my record on and
Soaking up the black sun
Stomping down the avenue, oh
I just wanna dream and some
Till the winter's dead and gone
I'll be writing love songs for you, oh
[Outro]
I love to be in a bad mood
