Gonna sit right down in my easy chair
Pull out a deck of cards and go play solitaire
Break out a bottle and wash me a glass
You keep me company till the feelings pass
Everybody needs something to do
Me I'll just sit here and think about you
It might seem hopeless but it ain't that bad yet
It's just the blues as blues can get

I need to call somebody someone I can trust
I need the number for lover's anonymous
I'll tell them my story hope they'll understand
May be they can explain it to me cause I don't think I can
I'll take your picture down from my wall
Try to remember the thrill of it all
I know it's over, but it ain't over yet
It's just the blues as blues can get

Why fight the feeling when I can't fight back the tears
I stare at the ceiling and I wish that you were here
I'm going crazy but I ain't crazy yet
It's just the blues as blues can get

Yeah just the blues
As blues can get
I know it's over but it ain't over yet
