Lyrics for Today I Sing the Blues

Without a word of warning The blues walked in this morning And circled around my lonely room I didn't know why I had that sad and lonely feeling Until my baby called and said we we're through, ooh For yesterday, this time I sang a love story But today, I'm singing the blues Hmm-mmm It strikes me kind of funny How love can be this way We were lovers last night, honey But I'm alone again today And this strikes me kind of funny How fate can be unfair I come right on the losing 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 sang a love song Oh, oh, but right now I'm singing the blues Oh, yeah
