People say you love but one at time For every woman there's a man My baby say she wasn't put here forever So she's gonna get as many as she can What can I do Yes, I just sing the blues Well, I just sing the blues 'Cause that's the only thing I know to do Well, some people may be wrong sometimes But they can't be wrong all the time Like they say a cat has nine lives Nine loves has the woman of mine What can I do Yes, I just sing the blues Well, I just sing the blues 'Cause that's the only thing I know to do Well, the women are funny these days They do wrong in so many ways They'll have a man twiddling his fingers Or either drinking his life away What can I do Yes, I just sing the blues Well, I just sing the blues 'Cause that's the only thing I know to do
