I Can't Face The Music - Ella Fitzgerald

Till the tick tick tock of your mantle clock

Sounds like a jungle drum

You’ve never been blue, I don’t mind tellin' you

When the wear and tear on your rocking chair

Is as plain as an old sore thumb

You say I gotta right to scream out in the night

Breeze, stop moaning those weird melodies

My man has left me and I can’t face the music

Without singin' the blues

Rain, your rhythm on my window pane

Drives me insane because I can’t face the music

Without singin' the blues

My heart is so broken I’ve spoken

To the Lord for sympathy

And if He don’t help me, so help me

It’s the bottom of the deep blue sea for me

I’m gonna end this misery

My man has left me and I can’t face the music

Without singing the blues

My heart is so broken I’ve spoken

To the Lord for sympathy

And if He don’t help me, so help me

It’s the bottom of the deep blue sea for me

I’m gonna end this misery

My man has left me and I can’t face the music

Without singing the blues

Why don’t you stop this foolin' around

You know your love has gotten me down

'Cause with out you

I know I keep singin' these same old blues
