Lyrics

Without a word of warning
The blues walked in this morning
And circled 'round my lonely room
I didn't why I had had, sad and lonely feelings
Until my baby called and said we're through, oo
For, yesterday this time I sang a love song
But today I'm singing the blues
Mmm, it strikes me kind of funny
How love can be this way
We were lovers last night, honey
But I'm alone again today
And it strikes me kind of funny
How fate can be unfair
I come out on the losing end
In every, oh, every love affair
Yes, it must be, it must be written for me
That I should be the one
Be the one to always lose
For yesterday, yesterday this time I sang a love song
Oh, oh, but right now, I'm singin' the blues
Oh, yeah
