[Verse 1]
Without a word of warning
The blues walked in this morning
And circled around my lonely room
I didn't know why I had that sad and lonely feeling
Until my baby called and said we were through, ooh

[Chorus]
For yesterday this time I sang a love song
But today I'm singing the blues

[Verse 2]
Now, it strikes me kind of funny how love can be this way
We were lovers last night, honey
But I'm alone again today
And it strikes me kind of funny how fate can be unfair
I come right on the losing 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

[Chorus]
For yesterday, yesterday this time I sang a love song
Oh, oh, but right now I'm singing the blues, oh yeah
