I'm gonna rise to the occasion Time to face another day And these blues be waiting with my coffee Ever since you went away You did me wrong You played me like a song And these blues keep reminding me That its a shame And I'll never be the same I go through the motions Every day I carry that weight And my heart of stone gets heavy And these blues get in my way My friends try to explain But it don't help the pain Good or bad that's the way it is Every day And I'll never be the same And I go on believing That what we had was meant to be And at night, I just sit here By myself I'm a fool for ya Baby And I'd declare it any day And even though you don't love me I'd tell you to your face There's nothing I can do I'll always have these Blues But just because you once loved me One thing remains That I'll never be the same
