"Family Portrait" "Dear Diary"

"Misery" is a song by American singer-songwriter P!nk, taken from her sophomore studio album, M!ssundaztood. It features vocals from Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.

On initial pressings of M!ssundaztood, P!nk sang all the verses, including the one that Tyler sings on current pressings of the album. On current pressings of M!ssundaztood, Steven Tyler sings an entire verse as opposed to a providing only few lines and background vocals. The first version of the album that contains the version of "Misery" where P!nk sings Tyler's verse was not on a specific pressing run, as even some copies of the first version of the album released (with the enhanced content) have the current version of the song. It is somewhat hard to find editions of the album with the original version of the song.

Lyrics[]

Shadows are fallin' all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery! I sure could use some company
Since he's been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause me misery

Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause me misery
And, oh! I've been down this road before
With a passion that turns into pain
And each I saw love walk out the door
I swore never get caught again

But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
And sometime we get too smart too late
One more heartache for me
Another night of misery

Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
Heart make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh
Misery
Guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
Misery
