I know you were expecting teardrops
When you told me 'bout your somebody else
I hope I didn't disappoint you
By taking it all so well
And if I don't look as disappointed
As I ought to be - it's just
The blues ain't news to me

I've got it down - being down - I know my way around
I've shed my share of tears
I've seen enough breaking up - seems like it's taken up
Most of my adult years
I'm familiar with the situation
It's my semi-occupation
The blues ain't news to me

It's nice to know you're worried 'bout me
Concerned about the way I feel
It's just another day at the office
It really ain't no big deal
I've almost got it to a science
They oughta give me a degree
The blues ain't news to me

If I'm not quite devastated
Don't take it personally
