I get the blues as we dance I get the blues in advance For I know you'll be gone and I'll be here alone so I get the blues in advance Some get the blues from a song some when love has come and gone You don't know how I cry when you tell me goodbye so I get the blues in advance [ guitar ] As I think of our past romance I get the blues in advance There's no hope for me now you will change dear somehow So I get the blues in advance
