Lyrics: Jack Murphy I should be dancin', simmping champagne Painting the town red, singin' in the rain I should be the headlines not yesterday's news Tonight I'll be romancin' the blues I hope he's happy, wastin' my best years Guess I'll pour me a stiff one Then I'll pour out the tears I could slip on a brave face, but I simply refuse Tonight I'll be romancin' the blues You'd think by now that I'd have learned about love But the record shows I've not done well
You'd think by now that I'd have learned about love But right now, baby, love can go to hell Oh, hello heartache, throw me a parade Let's have a celebration for the mess that I have made So here's to all the winners from those of us who lose All of us romancin' the blues Here's to all the winners from those of us who lose All of us romancin' the blues Tonight I am... Romancin' the blues
