The 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 were through, ooh

For yesterday this time I sang a love song

But today I'm singing the blues

Now, 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 right on the losing end in every, every love affair

Yes, it must be, it must be meant for me that I should be the one

Be the one to always lose

For yesterday, yesterday this time I sang a love song

Oh, oh, but right now I'm singing the blues, oh yeah
