One Of Those Days Lyrics

Athlete

It's been one of those days
and everybody's on it everybody's on it
and it's been one of those days
and everybody's on it everybody's on it

here comes the rain
the boys and the girls are coming inside
walking past the gate if i hurry i can get home in time
i love my house

it's been one of those days
and everybody's on it everybody's on it
and it's been one of those days
and everybody's on it everybody's on it

toast the morning tv
the phone's just gone and i've missed my ride
one jump free and i was out the door and already late
and god came down and swept me off my feet and

it's been one of those days
and everybody's on it everybody's on it
and it's been one of those days
and everybody's on it everybody's on it
