I know there's a word for this

I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling

I know there's a word for this

I know it, and it's on the tip of my tongue

and it won't go any further.

I know there's a word for this

I know, 'cause it's in the dictionary

and when I find what it is

I'll write it down in case it comes up again

I'll be certain to avoid it.

So, take this down:

I just feel so beat

and I think it's time

to admit defeat

I thought I got mine

but that uphill climbing

is never through.

I know there's a word for this

I know 'cause we've all at sometime said it

like when we were little kids

we'd fight each other 'til someone would give in

and you'd make him tell you 'uncle'.

So, take this down:

I just feel so beat

and I think it's time

to admit defeat

I thought I got mine

but that uphill climbing

is never through.
