JOHN 1980: 'It was kind of a John song, more than a Paul song… but it was written together.'

PAUL 1988: 'John and I were a songwriting team, and what songwriting teams did in those days was wrote for everyone.
'Misery' was for Helen Shapiro, and she turned it down.
It may not have been that successful for her because it's rather a downbeat song… 'the world is treating me bad, misery.' It was quite pessimistic.
And in the end Kenny Lynch did it.
Kenny used to come out on tour with us, and he used to sing it.
That was one of his minor hits.'

The world is treating me bad... Misery

I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry
The world is treating me bad... Misery!

I've lost her now for sure
I won't see her no more
It's gonna be a drag... Misery!

I'll remember all the little things we've done
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one

Send her back to me
Cos everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery

I'll remember all the little things we've done
She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one

Send her back to me
Cos everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery (Oh oh oh)
In misery (Ooh ee ooh ooh)
My misery (La la la la la la)
