Lyrics

I wonder why

Nothin' ever seems to go my way

But every time I see you

I get that same old feelin'

And my blues just melt away, melt away

The world's not waiting just for me

The world don't care what I can be

I feel just like an island

Until I see you smilin'

And my blues just melt away, melt away

I won't let you see me suffer

Whoa, not me

I won't let you hear me cryin'

Whoa, not me

I won't let you see me sighin'

Whoa, not me

Whoa oh oh

Sometimes I close up to the world

You know I close up to you girl

But when I hear you talking

I feel my heart unlocking

And my blues just melt away, melt away

Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

(Dit) dit dit dit

(Dit) dit dit dit

(Dit) dit dit dit

(Dit) dit dit dit

And my blues just melt away, melt away

(Melt away) melt away [melt away] (melt away)

Melt away [melt away] (melt away)

Melt away [melt away] (melt away)

Melt away [melt away] (melt away)

Melt away [melt away] (melt away)

Melt away [melt away] (melt away)
