This old bar stool's feeling higher Because I've started sinking lower The minute that she waltzed right through that door Not long ago I held her, like a fool I went and left her Now she's with somebody new out on that floor And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues And she's showing me how much I had to lose With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues Well that music's getting louder As my heart keeps beating faster As she spells out regret in perfect time Well I thought I wanted freedom but that ball and chain I need 'em Because when you choose sometimes you lose the prize Because she's got the rhythm and I got the blues And she's showing me how much I had to lose With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues Yeah, with her every little move she's telling me I'm over you She's got the rhythm and I got the blues
