They ought to know the latest news.
can't you see I've got the blues?
I've tried to conceal the way I really feel,
but now I've got to change my views.
can't you see I've got the blues?
I used to be happy in every way,
a smile for everyone I see.
But now I've got the blues,
and they'll never go away,
see what you've done to me.
I couldn't win, I had to lose.
and I ain't no use to stay,
can't you see I've got the blues?
I've gambled with my heart,
but I knew from the start,
I couldn't win, I had to lose.
there isn't any use to stay,
you've made a fool of me,
can 't you see I've got the blues.
