My baby left on her way now I'm left here to pay
It's been a bad bad day for me
It's been a dark dark day for me
The sun won't shine on my blue misery
Tears are falling like rain only sorrow remains
It's been a sad sad day for me
Everywhere I go trouble greets me
Sorrow seems to know just where to meet me
Why why this old day deceive me
Wish my love please come back and free me
It's been a bad bad day for me
There's nothing left but an old used to be
And it sure does get old being left in the cold
It's been a bad bad day for me [ guitar ]
Everywhere I go trouble greets me...

You're trying to reshape me in a mold love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a standing for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go [ piano - guitar ]
You're trying to reshape me...
**********
Well maybe you'll change and maybe you won't
But I'll be here if you do or if you don't
Cause I can't leave no matter how hard I try [ guitar ]
It's a sad affair when the one you love don't even care about you
But why should I took blame I love you just the same
And that's all I want to do
Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
Rain's falling down down from the sky
Even the sun's refusing to shine
Everything's wrong since we're apart
I've got these lonesome blues in my heart [ ac.guitar ]
Gone is the love I couldn't hold
Just like a lamb that's straight from the fold
What can I do what can I say
Blues in my heart has got me this way
**********
I can't talk about her cause she's with someone new
Cause while she was with me she was true true true
Should have done right when I had my day
Now I'm all alone and I'm havin' to pay
She was the sweet sweet girl to me
Guess I had it comin' cause she set me free
Yeah yeah yeah yeah she was the sweet sweet girl to me
I can't talk about her...
She was the sweet sweet girl to me oh the sweet sweet girl to me
She was the sweet sweet girl to me
**********
I feel like crying dying what can I do
I feel like praying saying I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from the blues [ guitar ]
How can I make believe that I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue blue day for me
I can't pretend and say that I don't love her anyway
It's been a blue blue day for me
I feel like crying dying...
I feel like runnin' away from the blues
**********
I scattered all our promises behind me
There's no use to hope that they'll come true
But if you change your mind you can find me
I'll be waiting on Heartbreak Avenue [ guitar ]
I was warned that some day you'd desert me
I'd wake up and find that we were through
They all told me that you'd only hurt me
And I'd end up on Heartbreak Avenue
Someday you may understand this yearning
When somebody does the same to you
Then when deep in your heart there's a burning
We'll be neighbors on Heartbreak Avenue
**********
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me [ guitar ]
Well I'll bet she's not like me...
Oh lonesome me
**********
How many times do you think you ought to know
I fell just like I was a hung up record I love you love you so
Well if you don't know it then you must be blind
Know that you're my only yes yes my only kind
Well if you don't know it baby what can I do
I tell you that I love you love you love you love you [ guitar ]
Well how many times do you think...
