(by Richard Manuel.)

I had a hard time waking this morning

I got a lotta things on my mind

Like those friends of yours

They keep bringing me down

Just hangin' round all the time

I've had a hard time waking most mornings

And it's been that way for a month or more

You've had things your way

But now I've got to say

I'm on my way out the door

Chorus:

Why don't you get right, try to get right, baby

You haven't been right with me, why don't you get
right?

Try and get right, baby, don't you remember how
it used to be?

You had a hard time waking this morning

And I can see it in your empty eyes

But there's no need for talking

Or walking round the block

Just to figure out the reason why

I have a hard time handing out warnings

I'll just slide on out the door

Cuz I'm tired of everything

Being beautiful, beautiful

And I ain't coming back no more
