Monday Afternoon Lyrics - Lori Mckenna

It's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again 

And I know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend 

But the Lord and I don't get along so very good 

He doesn't speak a word out to me 

Like you promised that he would 

And I'm telling you 

I wish I was a better person 

When the clouds roll in and the sky promises rain 

You just accept the way she is and you don't even complain 

Though you wish that it was sunny and the sky would stay blue 

You don't accept a thing about me 

And wish that I was just like you 

But I'm telling you 

I wish I was a better person

I don't want to work at it 

It should come naturally 

It shouldn't be so difficult 

Should be more like honey to the bee 

Well the bee has his sting and the sky has her rain 

And I have all of my things that I shouldn't do over again 

But if I just say the words and I look you in the eye 

That I am promising you, I promise 

I wish I was a better person 

I don't want to work at it 

It should come naturally 

It shouldn't be so difficult 

Should be more like honey to the bee

And I'm telling you 

I am telling you 

I am telling you 

I wish I was a better person 

A better person 

A better person
