Aimee Mann - I Know There's A Word

I know there's a word for this
I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling
I know there's a word for this
I know it, and it's on the tip of my tongue
and it won't go any further.

I know there's a word for this
I know, 'cause it's in the dictionary
and when I find what it is
I'll write it down in case it comes up again
I'll be certain to avoid it.

So, take this down:
I just feel so beat
and I think it's time
to admit defeat
I thought I got mine
but that uphill climbing
is never through.

I know there's a word for this
I know 'cause we've all at sometime said it
like when we were little kids
we'd fight each other 'til someone would give in
and you'd make him tell you 'uncle'.

So, take this down:
I just feel so beat
and I think it's time
to admit defeat
I thought I got mine
but that uphill climbing
is never through.
