Without a word of warnin'
The Blues walked in this mornin'
And circled 'round my lonely room
I didn't know why i had that sad 'n lonely feelin'
Until my baby called and said we were through, hooo
For yesterday this time i sang a lovesong
But today... i'm singing the blues

Hmmmm...

Strikes me kinda funny
How love can be this way
We were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah
I'm alone again today

And it strikes me kinda funny
How fate can be unfair
That i come right on the losin' 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!
Yesterday this time i'd sing a love song
Whoaoohhh!
Yeah, but right now - im singin the blues!
Who-o-oh ye-he-heah!
[end]
