lyrics

Well I went to the doctor I was feelin’ bad (got it pretty good)
I went to church trying to see what they had (I got it pretty good)
The psychiatrist sent me back to the priest
He just said, “Keep your trousers creased”
You know (I got it)
Yes (I got it)
Cause (I got it pretty good)

I tried being mean
I tried being nice
I tried, tried taking all your advice

It’s time to shine (shine)
A fine time to remind me
Well I’m just fine (fine)
A fine time to unwind
And now it’s your time to shine

(I got it)
(I got it)
(I got it) I got it pretty good

I got the joke, I’m on my knees cause (I got it pretty good)
Well I tried bein’ nice, I tried bein’ mean
Livin’ my life just keepin’ it clean
Got the fever, I got the fever
And (I got it pretty good)

Well I need a good hammer
And a couple of nails
I built me a boat
I’m gonna set my sails

My time to shine (shine)
It’s a fine time to remind me
I’m doing just fine (fine)
If I could find the time
Now’s your time to shine

It ain’t good or bad, it ain’t wrong or right, but (I got it pretty good)
I ain’t giving up; I’m gonna stay in the fight cause (I got it pretty good)
I’m unraveling, I’m gonna unwind
I’m winding down if I could find the time
Cause (I got it)
No (I got it)
(I got it pretty good)

I tried being mean
I tried being nice
I tried taking all your advice

It’s time to shine (shine)
A fine time to remind me
To live your life (time)
Like it’s on the line
And now’s your time to shine

(I got it) Alright
(I got it)
(I got it pretty good)

(I got it) I do
(I got it) Got it bad
(I got it) Got it (pretty good) pretty good

(I got it) I got it bad
(I got it) I got it bad
(I got it pretty good) I got it bad

(I got it) Got it bad
(I got it) Got it bad
(I got it)
