Lyrics
Without a word of warning
Blues walked in this morning
And circled around my lonely room
I didn't know why I had that sad and lonely feeling
Until my baby called and said we're through, ooh
For yesterday, this time, I sang a love story
But today, I'm singing the blues, hmm
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, 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 sing a love song
Oh, oh, but right now, I'm singing the blues, oh, yeah
