Well, there's this guy at my school
Who keeps asking me 'bout you
And I haven't found a way to break him the news

So I look into his eyes
And say you were out of your mind
On the night you left me for the countryside

And, yes, I've been getting by
Doing my own little stuff
But my life hasn't been nearly as fun

Oh, and I sing the blues
And I drink about you
But that's just what you asked me to do
Oh, that's just what you asked me to do

Parara, rarara, pararara

Now everyday I walk by
Your old place baby, and I
Wonder if you found the space you wanted to find

And I can't help but smile
On the way to my 9 to 5
'Cause you're always, you're always on my mind

And, yes, I've been getting by
Doing my own little stuff
But my life hasn't been nearly as fun

Oh, and I sing the blues
And I drink about you
But that's just what you asked me to do
Oh, that's just what you asked me to do

It was hard saying goodbye
And, though now those tears have dried
You're the star of every dream that I dream at night

Oh, and I sing the blues
And I drink about you
But that's just what you asked me to do
Oh, that's just what you asked me to do
Oh, that's just what you asked me to do
Oh, that's just what you asked me to do

(One more time)
Oh, that's just what you asked me to do
