It's been a bad day child
On the side of sorrow
Oooh it's hard
You can't always be so fine
You know a kind of reason
Still you try to bring it down
Wishful dreamers tell me
How can you say that you're lonely
Only children cry

Wait for tomorrow
To come and may she greet you
Through the darkness of the night
It ends up changing

It's been a bad day child
Pray for the day
But anytime you need some love
I'll try try to understand
How can you say you need some company
Only children cry
You're the teacher
Tell me the story
Be a lovely lullaby

Wait for tomorrow to come
May she greet you
The darkness of the night
Gentle changes
It's been a bad day child
Pray for the day
But anytime you need some love
I'll try try to understand
I'll try try to understand
I'll try try to understand

Pauline Matthews better known as Kiki Dee, is an English singer.

She kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late ‘60s and early '70s – even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown – before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, “I’ve Got the Music in Me.”

In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in Blood Brothers in the West End.
