Everyone has had the blues at some time 
And been used, I ain't lying 
I've been used and abused 
And I've got the blues, blues, blues 
Over you 

Everyone has had it hard at some time 
People trying to find a peace of mind 
I've been trying, I ain't lying 
Trying to find a peace of mind 
Over you 

I lay every night 
Thinking about my situation 
I get the blues 
Right off the bat 
If we can just have 
A decent conversation 
You know that things 
Wouldn't be so bad 

Oh I was cheated, why I don't know 
And mistreated by a no good so and so 
I've been cheated and mistreated 
And I've got the blues, blues, blues 
Over you 

I lay every night 
Thinking about my situation 
I get the blues 
Right off the bat 
If we can just have 
A decent conversation 
You know that things 
Wouldn't be so bad 

You've got to live and let live 
When we were together 
All you wanted for me was to give 
Now I'm not giving, you're barely living 
You're on your own 
You're living all alone 
Now we're through, me and you 
And I don't have the blues, blues, blues 
Over you
