Why I Sing the Blues - Aretha Franklin

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

And 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

Strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way

We were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah

I’m alone again today

And it strikes me kinda funny

How fate can be unfair

That I come right on the losin' end

In every, every love affair

Yes, it must be, it must be meant 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, whoah

Yeah, but right now I’m singin' the blues

Whoah yeah, today I sing the blues
