Without a word of warnin'
The blues came in this mornin'
And circled around my lonely room.
I didn't know why I had that sad 'n lonely feelin'
Until my baby called and said we were through
Yesterday this time I sang a lovesong
But today I sing the blues.
I know the explanation
But there is no consolation
No matter how you love, you can lose
And since I've lost, I'd got to walk around and lonley
and walk around this darkest avenue
Cuz yesterday I sang a lovesong
But today I sing the blues.
Now, it strikes me kinda funny that life should be this way
To be ao much in love last night
And alone again today
But it was be written for me
that fate should be unfair
'Cos I come out on the losin' end in every love affair!
Yes it must be written for me that I should be the one to lose
Yesterday I sang a lovesong
But today I sing the blues.
