Without a word of warning The blues walked in this morning And circled around my lonely room
I didn´t know why I had that sad and lonely feeling
Until my baby called and said we were through, hooo
For yesterday this time I sang a love song But today... I´m singing the blues
Now, I know the explanation But to me that´s no consolation No, no, it just goes to show you No matter how you love, everybody has got to lose And since I´ve lost, I´d rather walk around and woe I guess I just walk the darkest avenue
For yesterday this time I sang a love song But today... I´m singing the blues
Now, it strikes me kind of funny how love can be this way
Because we were loving until last night honey, yeah I´m alone again today And it strikes me kind of funny how fate can be so unfair Because I seem to come right on the losing end in every, every love affair! Yes it must be, it must be meant for me that I should be the one Be the one to always lose, hooo
For yesterday this time I sang a love song But today... I´m singing the blues
