The Girl Sang the Blues

The band and I we played from nine to five

It didn't pay much 'cause the place was just a dive

Then one night I saw her in the crowd

And she asked if singing with the band would be allowed

It was just weekday night

So I said it would be alright

That's how I met the girl who sang the blues

She sang the blues like no-one has ever heard

And you could tell that she'd lived every word

That girl was somethin' special we could see

Then she sang a song of love and looked at me

That girl could do no wrong

So I let her sing all night long

And I fell in love with the girl who sang the blues

I still remember that fateful night

The man with a big cigar

Walked in the club right up to her

Said "Hey girl I'm gonna make you a star"

The band and I still play from nine to five

But since that night the music ain't alive

That girl still sings the songs to me I know

But now she's singin' 'em on the radio

And it hurts to realise

I'm just one of a million guys

In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues

In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues

In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues

In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues...
