You Got The Blues

If you wake up in the morning and you want to stay in bed

You just don't want to get up to face the day ahead

When you don't want to eat 'cause your bread don't taste like bread

Your coffee tastes like poison and your cold's like a shot of lead

You got the blues

You got the blues

Every time you'd rather be in another man's shoes

I'm right here to tell you, it may not come as news

But you got the blues

If you can't pay the phone bill and you can't pay the rent

You got a letter from the bank, saying no more will be lent

When your man or woman don't treat you like they should

Does it make you feel like leaving and going away for good?

You got the blues

You got the blues

Every time you'd rather be in another man's shoes

I'm right here to tell you, it may not come as news

But you got the blues

When you see a married woman that you used to know

Does it make you stop and think of good times long ago?

When you see young happy lovers strolling arm in arm

Do you ever stop to wonder just where'd your love gone?

You got the blues

You got the blues

Every time you'd rather be in another man's shoes

I'm right here to tell you, it may not come as news

But you got the blues
