The band and I we played from nine to five It didn't pay much 'cause the place was just a dive Then one night I saw her in the crowd And she asked if singing with the band would be allowed It was just weekday night So I said it would be alright That's how I met the girl who sang the blues She sang the blues like no-one has ever heard And you could tell that she'd lived every word That girl was somethin' special we could see Then she sang a song of love and looked at me That girl could do no wrong So I let her sing all night long And I fell in love with the girl who sang the blues I still remember that fateful night The man with a big cigar Walked in the club right up to her Said "Hey girl I'm gonna make you a star" The band and I still play from nine to five But since that night the music ain't alive That girl still sings the songs to me I know But now she's singin' 'em on the radio And it hurts to realise I'm just one of a million guys In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues...
