singin' the blues

i've been working so hard

just came home from my job. looked down in my wallet

all my hard-earned pay?

i got my bills to pay. you got me singin' the blues

and i'm paying all my dues. you got me singin' the blues

ain't got nothing to lose. i got to tell you i got the blues down in my pockets. people

bills are gonna rob me tomorrow

why i need my ten dollars today. ain't no way to get even

because

you know what i mean

every time i make me some money

somebody's going to take it from me.
