You've got to let loose of the sadness You've got to let loose of the sadness Don't let it weigh you down How will you find your bright tomorrow If you're the sadist cloud in town You've got to smile through the tears You've got to smile through the tears That's the reason for the blues Just let the music do the crying Ain't no medicine like the blues You've got to reach for that helping hand You've got to reach out for that helping hand When your heart aches for relief There's a song out there waiting To sooth your pain and grief You've got to let loose of the sadness You've got to let loose of the sadness It's the best thing to do Just let the music ease your sorrows Ain't no medicine like the blues
