Lyrics

i was having a bad day
going from bed to worse
i got on an elevator going down
the door closed
and right at eye level were scrawled these words
you just startin' to get the blues
true fact

you just startin' to get the blues

when a man needs a woman
to hold him through the night
when a man needs a woman
to kiss and hug him tight
if she's got a mind to refuse
don't you know he's got the blues

now when the living was easy
she's right by my side
when the living was easy
it was a smooth smooth ride
one day she put on her walking shoes
don't you know i got these blues

i never knew i'd lose her
be out on my own
i'd never knew i'd lose her
have to go alone
now i'm not one to accuse
but she's the one gave me these blues

so when a man needs a woman
to hold him through the night
when a man needs a woman
to kiss and hug him tight
if she's got a mind to refuse
don't you know he's got the blues

i went to see the doctor
said man what's ailing me
i went to see the doctor
i said man what can it be
he said i hate to break the news
you just startin' to get the blues
he said i hate to break the news
you just startin' to get the blues
