If you've never been sad and lonelyHow can you talk about the blues?If you've never been sad and lonelyHow can you talk about the blues?Now I know all about themAnd I've paid some awful duesCome home early in the morningAnd your baby's gone from youHow can you talk about the blues?He's gone and left you flatAnd you don't know what to doIf you've never been sad and lonelyHow can you talk about the blues?Now I know all about themAnd I've paid some awful duesCome home early in the morningAnd your baby's gone from youHow can you talk about the blues?And your baby's gone from youNow I know all about themAnd you don't know what to doNow I know all about themHow can you talk about the blues?He's gone and left you flatDon't tell me about your troubles, babyDon't tell me about your bluesDon't tell me about your troubles, babyDon't tell me about your bluesNow I know all about themAnd I've really paid my dues*
