The central theme is that sometimes you choose a partner and are stuck in an unsatisfying or perhaps an uneven relationship. That's when you feel the blues.
Lyrics
I’VE GOT THE BLUES
I used to be a lucky guy when I was a youth
You can say I had it all except for money
I can’t complain…. I had the charm to woo those honeys
You know it’s not my style to brag but that was the truth
There comes a time when a man has to choose
That’s when he starts to lose
No one ever told me love would be this way
I had my suspicions but I pushed them away
I’ve never been a quitter, but I must admit
I love to be with you babe but I’m in a fit
Before I lose my senses and it starts to hurt
I’m gonna quit moping, and I’m letting it out…
I’ve got the blues and I blame them on you
For giving me a taste of love that I never knew
I’ve got the blues and it’s breaking my heart
I’m very good at waiting but I’ll wait no more
I never know when you’re in the mood
You’ve got me confused!
You made me feel a passion so real and it felt so good
To you it seemed so funny every time you called me honey
And I came a running to you
But hear what I say I might look the other way
If all you do is tease me
But you never want to please
I’ve got the blues and I blame them on you
For giving me a taste of love that I never knew
I’ve got the blues and it’s breaking my heart
I’m very good at waiting but I’ll wait no more
I never know when you’re in the mood
You’ve got me confused! Yeah!
(Break)
I used to be a happy guy but look at me now
Whenever I get lucky now it’s probably bad
My mood’s on a swing, when I get too high
You try to bring me down again it’s such a bad ride
I don’t like rollercoasters they’re too wild for me
But when I’m with you Baby that’s just how I feel!
I’ve got the blues and I blame them on you
For giving me a taste of love that I never knew
I’ve got the blues and I’m losing my mind
I’m pretty good at waiting but I’ll wait no more
I never know when you’re in the mood
You’ve got me confused!
Nice - dig it!
