Riff 1
Sometimes my world goes upside down
Sometimes I see things backwards
When I go walking in town, can't get back home

Riff 2
Sometimes I see things right to left
And I know that's not right at all
But since I bumped into you, I bump into walls
And no one knows what's wrong with me
They think that I got dropsie
Is dis love?

Riff 3 (2x)
Or is dys-lex-i-a
Dys-lex-i-a

Riff 4
Dys-lex-i-a

Riff 1
I've got these glasses real thick and green
Just like the bottoms of coke bottles
I stumble 'round my house, so strange to me

Riff 2
Sometimes my world goes upside down
Sometimes I see things backwards
But since I bumped into you, I bump into walls
And no one knows what's wrong with me
They think that I got dropsie
Is dis love?

Riff 3 (2x)
Or is dys-lex-i-a
Dys-lex-i-a

Riff 4
Dys-lex-i-a
