Lyrics Why I Sing the Blues - Aretha Franklin

Why I Sing the Blues

Without a word of warnin' blues
Walked in this mornin'
And circled 'round my lonely room
I didn’t know why I had that sad
And lonely feelin' until my baby called
And said we were through
For yesterday this time
I sang a love song
But today I’m singing the blues
Strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way
We were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah
I’m alone again today
And it strikes me kinda funny
How fate can be unfair
That I come right on the losin' end
In every, every love affair
Yes, it must be, it must be meant for me
That I should be the one
Be the one to always lose
For yesterday
Yesterday this time I’d sing a love song, whoah
Yeah, but right now I’m singin' the blues
Whoah yeah, today I sing the blues
