[Verse 1]
Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

[Verse 2]
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

[Chorus]
Because you had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

[Verse 3]
Well, you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
[Chorus]
You had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Ooh, a holiday

[Bridge]
Sometimes, the system goes on the blink and the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be, well, oh, that strong
And I'm not wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Breakdown]
So where is the passion when you need it the most?
Oh, you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

[Chorus]
'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, you've seen what you're like
And how does it feel? One more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day (Ah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
Had a bad day (Ah, a holiday)
Had a bad day (Ah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
Had a bad day (Ah)
