Why I sing the blues

You all have been wonderin`,
Wonderin` why I sing the blues
You all have been wonderin`,
Wonderin` why I sing the blues
Yeah you just listen
And say you`re me instead of you

Ah you won`t to or you do get married
To someone for the rest of your life
Ah you won`t to or you do get married
To someone for the rest of your life
Yes and there is always someone else
Whenever you out of sight

You get the affection of a servant
The kindness of a slave
You get the affection of a servant
The kindness of a slave
You get the love of a dog
That can`t even hear a word you say

Try to say something people
Something just to pacify
Try to say something people
Something just to pacify
I might not have lived right all my life
But people please believe I`ve tried.
