"Lady Sings The Blues" lyrics
(originally by Billie Holiday)
(from "The United States vs. Billie Holiday" soundtrack)
Lady sings the blues
She's got them bad
She feels so sad
And wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
And now the world will know
Just what her blues is all about
The blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you, she's got 'em bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing 'em no more
'Cause he blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
And I don't wanna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you, she's got them bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more
No more
She's got them bad
She feels so sad
And wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
And now the world will know
Just what her blues is all about
The blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you, she's got 'em bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing 'em no more
'Cause he blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
And I don't wanna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you, she's got them bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more
No more
