The good times I thought that we were havin'
must not have been as good as good as I recall.
But why am I the only one who's hurtin'
and feelin' like the whole thing's all my fault?
Re-member how I always said I loved you
and wanted to be with you all the time?
And I never changed the way I felt a-bout you
so tell me how could all the fault be mine?
I've been hurtin' way too long.
Some nights I even sit and cry un-til the break of dawn.
And now I know just what I got to do,
to-night I'm walkin' out on the blues.

verse 2
I tried ev'ry way I know to please you.
Ev'ry day I work my fingers to the bone,
to buy you ev'ry-thing you ever wanted
and now I'm spending all my nights a-lone.
So now I'm gonna try to please myself, dear,
and do some things I've always wanted to
I'm going out to-night and have some fun for a change,
and I won't be here thinkin' of you.
I've been hurtin' way too long.
Some nights I even sit and cry un-til the break of dawn.
And now I know just what I got to do,
to-night I'm walkin' out on the blues.
Outro
And now I know just what I got to do,

blues.
