| Why do I sing?
|
| When there ain’t nothin' to sing about
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| When I should be cryin' out loud
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| because it makes me feel alright
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| Because it gets me through the night
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| I guess it stops me cryin' out loud.
|
| I work my fingers to the bone each and every day
|
| Then somebody comes along and just takes it all away
|
| Same old story
|
| Some things never change
|
| and no matter how you try
|
| you know you’ll never break the chain
|
| ain’t that the truth?
|
| That’s why we sing the blues.
|
| Yeh we still sing the blues
|
| Why do I stay here?
|
| When I could be somewhere else
|
| Why do I stay here?
|
| When I could be somewhere else
|
| Why do I stay here?
|
| because there ain’t nowhere to go
|
| Why do I stay here?
|
| What have I got to show
|
| Why do I stay here?
|
| When I could be somewhere else
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| cos it’s the only way
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| when the world treats me this way
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| cos I know somethin’s gotta give
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| I know this ain’t no way to live
|
| Why do I sing?
|
| I wanna make you feel it too
|
| What more can I say?
|
| That’s why we sing the blues
|
| Yeh we still sing the blues |
