Since I was a little child, I've always felt I don't belong Everything I try to do, always seem to turn out wrong And it seems like, like I was born to lose That's why I'm gonna keep on singing the blues I ain't got nobody in this world to call my own I spend my nights crying, crying all alone I wanna tell you people, I wanna tell you all the truth I'm gonna keep on singing the blues There's only one thing that I want There's only one thing that I need Someone to love me, someone to take care of me But it seems like no matter how hard I try I'll never have you, have you by my side One of these days, I'm gonna wake up You know that I'll be old and grey And maybe by then things will start to go my way But I know what I was put on this earth to do That's why I'm gonna keep on singing the blues ♪ ♪ There's only one thing that I want There's only one thing that I need Someone to love me, someone to take care of me Seems like no matter how hard I try I'll never have you, have you by my side One of these days, I'm gonna wake up You know that I'll be old and grey And maybe by then things will start to go my way But I know what I was put on this earth to do That's why I'm gonna keep on singing the blues I'm gonna keep on singing the blues I'm gonna keep on singing the blues Oh-oh, I'm gonna keep on singing the blues That's right
