People are talking all over town
About the way you keep dogging me around
You’re always cheating, you’re always mistreating
You’ve got me crying with the blues

I go out dancing with my favourite crowd
I ain’t gay, baby, laughing out loud
I’m only laughing on the outside
But crying on the inside with the blues

Baby you know I love you
I need you heart and soul
And I know you got a brand new love
And that’s the reason why you’re treating me so cold

Your lover calls you on the telephone
Suddenly baby, suddenly you’re gone
You’re gone out cheating, you’re gone out mistreating
And leaving me crying with the blues

Your lover calls you on the telephone
Suddenly baby, suddenly you’re gone
You’re gone out cheating, you’re gone out mistreating
Leaving me crying with the blues

Baby, down the line
I know there’ll come a time
And baby you’ll be crying too
You’ve got me crying the blues baby
You’ve got me crying the blues baby
And oh baby, I’m crying
You’ve got me suffering
I’m tormented, what can I do
I love you, I need you, I need your heart and soul
