Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lady sings the blues
She's got them bad
She feels so sad
And wants the world to know
Just what her blues is all about
[Verse 2]
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
Now the world will know
Just what the blues is all about
[Bridge]
The blues ain't nothin' but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die 'cause I love him
[Verse 3]
Lady sings the blues
I'm telling you she's got 'em bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more
[Bridge]
'Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
Ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die 'cause I love him
[Verse 4]
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you she's got 'em bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more
No more
