Without a warning
|
the blues walked in this morning
|
And circled round my lonely room
|
I didn't know why I had
|
that sad and lonely feeling
|
'till my baby called and said it's through
|
Yesterday I sang a love song
|
but today I sing the blues
|
|
I know the explanation
|
but that's no constellation
|
No matter how your love
|
you can lose
|
and since I lost
|
I rather walk around and worry
|
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue
|
|
Yesterday I sang a love song
|
but today I sing the blues
|
Now it strikes me kind of funny
|
how life can be this way
|
We were lovers last night honey
|
but not in love today
|
Now it strikes me kind of funny
|
how faith can be unfair
|
it seems that I'm the one
|
to lose in every love affair
|
Yes it must be written for me
|
That I should be the one to always lose
|
Yesterday I sang a love song
|
but today I sing the blues
|
|
Now it strikes me kind of funny
|
how life can be this way
|
We were lovers last night honey
|
but not in love today
|
Now it strikes me kind of funny
|
how faith can be unfair
|
it seems that I'm the one
|
to lose in every love affair
|
Yes it must be written for me
|
That I should be the one to always lose
|
Yesterday I sang a love song
|
but today I sing the blues
