When I was younger, I was wild and irresponsible The blues made me do that - it was just like I had no choice When I was your lover, I was persuaded by another The blues made me do that baby - it was like I could not help myself When I was unhappy, I took it out on those who loved me The blues made me do that baby - it was just like I had no choice When I was happy, I always did something to screw it up The blues made me do that, yes they did- like I could not help myself Yes, the blues made me do that - it was just like I had no choice
