You give me such a hard time

Whenever I come around

I miss you till I see you

And you always bring me down



Now loving you comes easy

But it kills me more each day

And it wouldn't be so hard for you

To love my blues away



I try to be a good man

Yes, I try to do my best

You know I'm nothing special

But I ain't like all the rest



So you bend me ‘round your fingers

And it kills me more each day

But it wouldn't be so hard for you

To love my blues away

To love my blues away



Going down to the corner

To catch myself a ride

I've got to find a new place

Another place to hide



Find another woman

Who will love me like you do

And throw me in the gutter

When her loving me is through

To throw me in the gutter

When her loving me is through



Well, I try to be a good man

Yes, I try to do my best

You know I'm nothing special

But I ain't like all the rest



Well you're treating me like nothing

And it kills me more each day

But it wouldn't be so hard for you

To love my blues away

To love my blues away
