Now, New York City

on a Friday night

A lot of things happenin',

a lot of bright lights.

Saw a pretty woman

all dressed in red

She turned to me

and this is what she said

She said, Honey I got the blues

I got the blues

from ridin' all night

in these high heel shoes.



Well, she took me to the corner

that she called her home

Turned around

and we were all alone.

Come on in, she said with a smile

Come on in and we can rest a while.

Well, Honey I got the blues

I got the blues

from ridin' all night

in these high heel shoes.



I said, Listen here,

honey, I been around

You ain't foolin' me, 'cause

I know what you've found.

She bent kinda low and then

she tickled my lips.

She said, Listen here, son,

I'm gonna give you a tip

Honey I got the blues

I got the blues

from ridin' all night

in these high heel shoes.
