You don't know me well enough to sing the blues for me And since when do I need you to give me sympathy? I live alone and it's my own business what I do I keep my problems to myself and I sing my own blues I sing the blues to me, I cry on my own shoulder I don't need you to tell me what to do Cause I sing the blues to me There was a time when I thought fate would treat me specially Since then I've learned the only one that I can blame is me And when a problem comes my way and leaves me in a bind I won't come a knocking on your door so stay away from mine I sing the blues to me, I cry on my own shoulder I need only me to give me sympathy And I sing the blues to me Yes, I sing the blues to me
