From the sound of my voice you can probably tell
The new medication ain't working so well
And the puppies on greeting cards saying "get well"
I'll see them in hell
Natural selection is awfully rude
The universe plays spin the bottle with you
But instead of a kiss you get royally screwed
Well screw the universe too
Please let me be ill, just for today
I swear next time I will let you pray
But let me be ill darling
Just for today
Humor me please
And refuse to believe
That I'm doing well
In your peachy keen dreams
In sickness, in health
And in maddening screams
Through all extremes
Please let me be ill, just for today
I swear next time I will let you pray
But let me be ill darling
We're all made to be sick sometimes
I was built to be ill
If you can't accept that
Then nobody will
Visiting hours are suddenly through
Do you want to help? Well here's what you do
You love me for me and my illness too
Or get out of my room
Please let me be ill, just for today
I swear next time I will let you pray
But let me be ill darling
Just for today
Just for
Just for
Just for
Just for today
