Monday morning, coffee's black and strong Saw a little green, thought I couldn't go wrong Felt a little flutter, a hopeful little spark Like a candle shinin' somewhere in the dark She whispered sweet nothings, the futures looked so bright Thought maybe this time, she was gonna treat me right. Oh, the market's a lover with a cold, cold heart Loves to build you up just to tear you apart She gives you a dollar, then takes back two and a dime
It's the Friday Market Blues, Lord, happens every time. Then Wednesday came 'round, with a change in the wind That little green arrow was my only friend Now it's pointing down, a sea of angry red All those sweet nothings, she unsaid 'em in my head The Dow took a tumble, the NASDAQ took a dive Felt lucky just to make it out alive. Oh, the market's a lover with a cold, cold heart Loves to build you up just to tear you apart
She gives you a dollar, then takes back two and a dime It's the Friday Market Blues, Lord, happens every time. Thirty years I've watched this ticker tape crawl Seen 'em rise up high, seen 'em stumble and fall You'd think by now I'd learn, you'd think I'd have a clue But every single Friday, it feels brand new A gain's a miracle, a loss is a sin And come Monday morning, I'll be all in again. Oh, the market's a lover with a cold, cold heart
Loves to build you up just to tear you apart She gives you a dollar, then takes back two and a dime It's the Friday Market Blues, Lord, happens every time.
