[Verse 1]
How many times have you heard this song?
If I had what he has, my blues would be gone
But, I've got the blues, nothing but the blues, for you

[Verse 2]
I could have been happy with fortune in vain
I have everything that a poor man could name
But, I still have the blues, nothing but the blues for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Searchin' all over, thinkin' I'd find
Someone who'd even give me peace of mind
Talkin' the unknown, out of my head
I just can't remember a thing that I've said

[Chorus]
Give me a chance and take me back
You'll see a change in the way I act
Because I got the blues, nothing but the blues for you

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Searchin' all over, thinkin' I'd find
Someone who'd even give me peace of mind
Talkin' the unknown, out of my head
I just can't remember a thing that I've said
[Chorus]
Give me a chance and take me back
You'll see a change in the way I act
Because I got the blues, nothing but the blues for you
