A woman left blue, a woman in pain
The deeper you love, the more that you gain
The more that you gain, the more you can lose
And that’s how you end up,
A woman with the blues
The one that you love has left your side
Now that he’s gone, it’s hard to go on –
You just want to die
And that’s how it starts, with your broken heart
Your soul it just burns, you drown it with booze
And that’s how you end up
A woman with the blues.
How does the story end, my friend?
I know you’ve heard the news
My man he died, I’m dead inside
That’s how I became a woman with the blues
It’s not what I choose, got nothing to lose
And that’s how you end up a woman,
A woman with the blues.
