That's the Blues

That's The Blues

Sing me some songs that'll break my heart
Tell me some stories of love torn apart
Break me down from my head to my shoes
'Cause Baby - That's the Blues.

You said you'd love me 'til the day you died
Should've known right then just how much you'd lied
You made my heartbreak frontpage news
'Cause Baby - That's the Blues.

You held my heart in chains to you,
You know you never meant to be true
You pushed my thumbs right into your screws
"Cause Baby - That's the Blues.

      That's the Blues, Baby
      That's the Blues, Darlin'
      That's the night with the HooDoos callin'
      That's the night when I gave up hope
      That's the night when I looked for my rope.

You said you love me it's a cryin' shame
Got me caught up in your lyin' game
You turned me 'round and kept me confused
'Cause Baby - That's the Blues.

You fed me love poison on your tongue
Took advantage just because I was young
You took my heart and broke it right in two
'Cause Baby - That's the Blues.

You said I was your only darlin' boy
Now I know that I was just your toy
You just deceived me and you always knew
'Cause Baby - That's the Blues.

     That's the Blues, Baby
     That's the Blues Darlin'
     That's the night when the Hoodoos are callin'
     That's the night when I gave up my hope
     That's the night I went lookin' for my rope...

So sing me songs that'll break my heart
Tell me those stories of love torn apart
Break me down from my head to my shoes
'Cause Baby - That's the Blues.
