There’s this guy at my school Who keeps asking me about you And I haven’t found a way to break him the news So I look into his eyes And say you were out of your mind On that night you left me for the countryside And, yes, I’ve been getting by Doing my own little stuff But my life hasn’t been nearly as fun Oh and I sing the blues And I drink about you But that’s just what you asked me to do Oh that’s just what you asked me to do Oh that’s just what you asked me to do Oh that’s just what you asked me to do So you think I'm still there In the bottom of your glass Though you know I just needed to leave Needed to be gone before All my curses and my wrongs Went overflow, hurting anyone who’s near Please understand my pacing I'm trying to find myself I need you to believe this time you just can’t help Forgive me for the lying When I said it was farewell The truth is that I'm longing to go back to our realm 'Cause I drink when I'm alone I miss you and I miss home And I just couldn’t dial the phone You’re the one I take within Every heartbeat every dream Takes you dancing round my mind like a movie scene Once again, Christmas time Bitterness was multiplied You stole away all the stars in this holy night And I know this is it You’re on the way to be happy And that’s just what I asked you to be So I just sing the blues And I drink about you Oh, that’s just what you asked me to do Oh, that’s just what you asked me to do Oh, that’s just what you asked me to do Oh, that’s just what you asked me to do
