So many times
You tried to take the best of me
So many times
Now you're gonna take the rest of me
Better look at what you're doin'
Before it's too late
It's a fine line you're treadin'
Between love and hate
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm comin' back to you

So many times
You tried to play a dead end game
I tried to tell you
But you'd never want to take the blame
Now you've pushed me to the limit
And I can't take no more
Better take one last look
Before I'm outa the door
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm comin' back to you

You never listened when I told you
That you were way out of line
Too busy talkin' to listen
Accusin' me of tellin' lies

So many times
You tried to get the best of me
So many times
But now you're gonna take the rest of me
Well it's too late for sorrow
And it's too late for tears
You better take one last look
Before I disappear
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm comin' back to you

There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm comin' back to you
There'll be a cold day in hell
Before I'm comin' back to you

There's two kinds of people
That I just can't stand
A cold hearted woman and a lyin' man
So don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
And I get evil as a man can be

You told me that you loved me a long time ago
The man that you had, you don't want him no more
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
And I get evil as a man can be

You told me that you loved me long time ago
The man that you had, you don't want him no more
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad
And I get evil as a man can be
I'm gonna tell you!

Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Cos it makes me mad
And I get evil as a man can be
Yes, I do!

My baby she left me
My baby she's gone
My sweet little angel
Spread her wings and flown
Can't think of a reason for goin' on
From this day I will play the blues

She said it was over
This time it's the end
Now bad luck and trouble's
Gonna be my only friend
I still can't believe it
After all we've been through
Everyday I will play the blues

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
She came from Chicago
She read me the news
In the headlines was
A story of the blues

They say a broken heart can always mend
That time is the healer
The sadness will end
But I've done so much crying
When will I laugh again
Till that day I will play the blues

Everybody knows what the blues is all about
It's a pain you can't live with
It's a woman you can't live without
Could have cried me a river
When they told me the news
On that day
Was a story of the blues

I used to wake up in the morning
With an aching head
I couldn't remember anything I'd said
My friends told me I was gettin' way out of line
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doin' time

Since I met you baby
You've made a new man out of me
Since I met you baby I'm happy as a man could be
I used to think that I was better than the rest
Ain't no doubt about it I was no second best
Didn't seem to matter
If I was right or I was wrong
I did some crazy things
Before you came along

Since I met you baby
You've made a new man out of me
Since I met you baby I'm happy as a man could be
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
(You tell 'em Gary!)

What is it that you want from me
I really wish I knew
I try so hard to do my best
But it's not good enough for you
Over and over again
We will make the same mistakes
Over and over again
There's a feelin' I can't shake

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

You know I need your love so bad
Can't you see what you do to me?
I try so hard to understand
But the truth's never plain to see

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

Time after time we will try to understand
I don't know where we went wrong
But there's no use in holding on

Over and over again
We will make the same mistakes
Over and over again
And it's more than a man can take

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

She'll tear you up, she'll bring you down
She'll leave your heart in the lost and found
She's just waiting
Waiting till the sun goes down
Take it from me
You're not the only fool in town

She'll make you envy, she'll make you sad
She'll find a way to make your good times bad
She's the woman
That kind of likes to fool around
Take it from me
You're not the only fool in town

There's something about that woman
That tries to drag a good man down
there's something about that woman
Take it from me
You're not the only fool in town

She'll tear you up, she'll bring you down
She'll leave your heart in the lost and found
She's just waiting
Waiting till the sun goes down
Take it from me
You're not the only fool in town
You can take it from me
You're not the only fool in town

I never realised
That you were in pain
Wanna help you honey
Then I'll see you again
That's my soul, baby
When I find I'm feeling love
I'll love you so bad baby
When I find the key to love

Put a smile on your face
And wipe away those tears
Life is gonna get better
As you live through these years
That's my soul, baby
When I find you're feeling rough
Love you so bad, baby
When I find the key to love

Somewhere in this world
The one you waited for
Gonna come along and baby
Turn the key to your door
That's my soul, baby
When I find you're feeling rough
Love you so bad, baby
When I find the key to love

What can you say?
There isn't much to tell
I'm going downhill
And I blame myself
I've been jumpin' at shadows
Thinking 'bout my life

Everybody
Points their hand at me
I know I'm just a picture
Of what I should have been
I've been jumpin' at shadows
Thinking 'bout my life

What can you say?
There isn't much to tell
I'm going downhill
And I blame myself
I've been jumpin' at shadows
Thinking 'bout my life

Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back
And it's here to stay

I wanna tell you a story
A story all about the blues
I want you to listen to me baby
While I sing it to you
Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back
And it's here to stay

I used to have me somebody
She meant the whole world to me
But she left me for someone else
Left my heart in misery
But I knew on the day she left me
The blues was gonna be a part of me

She left me with the blues
It was the last thing I thought I could use
But I'm glad that she left me
Left me with the blues
If she hadn't given me the blues
I wouldn't have found someone so sweet as you

I say hey hey the blues is alright
Hey hey the blues is alright
I say hey hey the blues is alright
Hey hey the blues is alright
Alright alright, every day and night

You wrestle with your conscience
To free your better self
But did you think for one moment
You could be someone else
Between a rock and a hard place
Is where you seem to be
You've been caught in a trap
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
All those nights so lonely
Of the tears that you cry
You can't hide from the hurt inside

You're in a situation
Pray this time will pass
But it feels like you're walking
Over miles and miles of broken glass
Into, into a corner
Where the sun never shines
Somebody's turned on the spotlight
You forgot to learn your lines
In the place you once called your heart
There's a wound that's open wide
You can't hide from the hurt inside

When you're thinking about the hard times
Everyone's been through
But it won't make no difference
See your face the way you do

In this blue condition
You must search for the light
Don't believe them when they tell you
You can't hold back the nights

Between a rock and a hard place
Is where you'll always be
Caught in a trap
Between the devil and the deep blue sea

So many words unspoken
So many times you never try
You can't hide from the hurt inside
There's one thing you can't hide
That's the hurt inside

Another town, another place
The lonely streets where we embraced
Then you are gone without a trace
Nothing's the same without you

Another day goes passing by
I sit alone and wonder why
Sometimes it's hard but I will try
To live my life without you

You're in my heart, and in my dreams
You're everywhere or so it seems
So many times I've heard that song
Hold back the tears and tell you're strong

Another day goes slowly by
I sit alone and wonder why
I think of you and start to cry
Nothing's the same without you

Another time, another place
The sweetness of our last embrace
What would I give to see your face
Nothing's the same without you
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same without you
