singing the blues

 

I knocked on your door

The dog let me in

Well, he was so happy

To see me again

 

The news is not good

The news is not bad

Ty TV blew up

And the president is mad

 

I'm glad you were home

It's been a long time

Since I've knocked on your door

And you've knocked on mine

 

Yes I've been drinking

But not all that much

It keeps me from longing

For your tender touch

 

I'm sorry I came

I won't stay for long

I just wanna tell you mama

That this is all wrong

 

I used to be happy

I used to be strong

But I've been singing the blues

Ever since you been gone

 

Now love is a fire

So I've been told

But nobody tells you

When the fire gets cold

 

So now I've been burned

And now I've been frozed

And now I am someone

That nobody knows

 

I'm sorry I came

I won't stay for long

I just wanna tell you mama

That this is all wrong

 

I used to be happy

I used to be strong

But I've been singing the blues

Ever since you been gone
