Lady sings the blues
She's got 'em bad, she feels so sad
Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about

Lady sings the blues
She tells her side, nothing to hide
Now the world will know
Just what the blues is all about

The blues ain't nothin' but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start, you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
And now I know, I won't die 'cause I love him

Lady sings the blues
She's got 'em bad, she feels so sad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing 'em no more, no more
