Well, I never felt more like singing the blues, 'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose,
Your love dear, Why'd you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like crying all night, 'Cause every things wrong and nothing ain't right,
Without you, You got me singing the blues.
The moon and stars no longer shine, The dream is gone I thought was mine,
There's nothing left for me to do, But cry-why-why-why over you.
Well, I never felt more like running away, But why should I go, 'Cause I couldn't stay,
Without you, You got me singing the blues.
