HERE IN MY POCKET
I GOT THE STORY OF THE BLUES
TRY TO BELIEVE ME
'CAUSE IT
COULD BE FRONT PAGE NEWS
I SAY, I LIVE WITH IT
LIKE IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET
I KEEP THINKING OF EVERYONE
HOW I'M THE ONE
ONE THEY'RE TRY'NA GET
TO TELL THE STORY OF THE BLUES
FIRST THEY TAKE YOUR PRIDE
TURN IT ALL INSIDE
AND THEN, YOU REALISE
YOU'VE GOT
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
SO... YOU TRY TO STOP
TRY TO GET BACK UP...
AND THEN, YOU REALISE
YOU'RE TELLING
THE STORY OF THE BLUES
FEELING BROW-BEATEN
DAY AFTER DAY
WELL, I THINK IT'S OVER
BUT I... JUST CAN'T GET AWAY
YOU SAY, FORGET IT
WELL, DON'T JUMP THE GUN
YOU'RE LAUGHING THIS TIME
NEXT TIME
YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE
TO TELL THE STORY OF THE BLUES
FIRST THEY TAKE YOUR PRIDE
TURN IT ALL INSIDE
AND THEN, YOU REALISE
YOU'VE GOT
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
SO... YOU TRY TO STOP
TRY TO GET BACK UP...
AND THEN, YOU REALISE
YOU'RE TELLING
THE STORY OF THE BLUES
STORY OF THE BLUES
FIRST THEY TAKE YOUR PRIDE
TURN IT ALL INSIDE
AND THEN, YOU REALISE
YOU'VE GOT
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
SO... YOU TRY TO STOP
TRY TO GET BACK UP...
AND THEN, YOU REALISE
YOU'RE TELLING
THE STORY OF THE BLUES
WHAT THEY GONNA SAY 'BOUT ME
WHEN THEY TELL
THE STORY OF THE BLUES...
