Without a word of warnin'
Blues walked in this mornin'
And circled 'round
My lonely room
I didn't know
Why I had that sad 'n lonely feelin'
Until my baby called
and said we were through
For yesterday this time
I sang a love song
But today I'm singing the blues
It strikes me kinda funny
How love can be this way?
We were lovers last night honey
But I'm alone again today
And it strikes me kinda funny
How fate can be unfair
I come out on the losin' end
In every, every love affair
Yes it must be
It must be written for me
That I should be the one
Be the one to always lose
For yesterday
Yesterday this time
I'd sing a love song
But right now I'm singin the blues
Oh yeah
