Still got the blues in my heart,

I will never forget you,

it teas me apart.

I’ve been trying hard to forget your name,

babe,

I’ve been praying to god

to be calmer and safer,

I’m deadly in love with you

and you know it’s true,

I’ll say it all over and over again –

– still got the blues.

I knew it right from the start,

I would give all my life, babe,

to keep you around.

no, I wasn’t much careful

and I blindly believed

in all those words that were spoken

in laugh and in tears.

now I see clearly enough

how much I was naive

and you were pretending

and playing your games,

full of mischief, uh

uh, uh, uh

I wish I’d never met you on my way,

I wish I’d never loved you,

pride, it hurts me too,

it grabs for my hopes

and it’s eating my brain,

it’s always the same.

i’ve never dreamt of somebody,

someone who’d love me

like no other man.

but never did I realize

that you could be so hard on me,

I cried like a child

when you moved to another friend, babe.

still got the blues

in my heart,

I will never never forget you

and that feeling inside.

oh, lord, if I were a little bit wiser,

I would probably give it up.

I’m deadly in love with you

and you know it’s true,

I’ll say it all over and over again,

still got the blues.^[1]
