Better to be ready if you rattle my cage, Oh I should loosen up some, baby I know. But I get angrier with age, Better to be ready if you rattle my cage. Oh you look disappointed in me, Oh am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be? Yeah I know I'm always giving you the third degree, But you look disappointed in me. Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood. I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood. We'll rate, generate, generate some more, So what you singing about summer for? Forgive me if I'm onto one, And I'll afford it but I suspect, That retrospect to your perception, You're looking in the wrong direction. As I'm sure you'll come through, I'm in a pretty awful mood. Better to be ready if you rattle my cage, And I know I'm always putting it on you. But I get angrier with age, Better to be ready if you rattle my cage. Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood. I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood. I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
