Seven Years

Well I ain't a very superstitious guy
I think it's bad luck and I'll tell you why
I looked in the mirror early one morn'
And said mirror mirror who's the fairest of all
I heard a voice behind my back
It said it ain't you baby and that's a fact
I thought to myself I'm goin' mad
I heard a laugh and the mirror it cracked

It said seven years you got ahead
Seven years you'll wish you were dead
Seven years you'll cry and shout
Seven years you won't sleep at night

I said to myself it's just last night
I drank too much I ain't feelin' quite right
So I took myself down to the bar below
I picked up a drink and away I go

It said seven years you got ahead
Seven years you'll wish you were dead
Seven years you'll cry and shout
Seven years you won't sleep at night

I saw her comin' to my side
I didn't say nothin' but she asked for a light
I knew just what she was thinkin' about
I hesitated and the voice it shout

It said seven years you got ahead
Seven years you'll wish you were dead
Seven years you'll cry and shout
Seven years you won't sleep at night

I gave her a light and we talked for a spell
And for the next seven years she gave me hell
So if you believe in fantasy not in facts
You better watch out if your mirror it cracks

It said seven years you got ahead
Seven years you'll wish you were dead
Seven years you'll cry and shout
Seven years you won't sleep at night
It said seven years you got ahead
Seven years you'll wish you were dead
Seven years you'll cry and shout
Seven years you won't sleep at night
