I get the blues as we dance I get the blues in advance
For I know you'll be gone and I'll be here alone so I get the blues in advance
Some get the blues from a song some when love has come and gone
You don't know how I cry when you tell me goodbye so I get the blues in advance

[ guitar ]

As I think of our past romance I get the blues in advance
There's no hope for me now you will change dear somehow
So I get the blues in advance
