[Verse]
Sittin' here alone
Just me and my tunes
(oo-yeah!)
Feelin' lowdown funky
Drowning in my blues
The hi-hat’s ticking
Bass line’s sneaking through
(uh-huh!)
But the music hits hard
And my heart can’t undo
[Chorus]
Oh
I’m blue
So blue
Listenin' to the blues
(say what?)
This rhythm shakes my soul
Yet it keeps me subdued
Got the funk in my step
A heavy groove ensues
But my heart’s got the beat-down—what’s a man to do? (woo!)
[Verse 2]
The guitar’s wailin’
It’s cryin’ my pain
(uh-huh!)
Ain't no umbrella for this steady rain
That sax is smooth
But it’s breakin’ me
Too
Every note it plays reminds me of you
[Bridge]
Call and respond to the shadows in my room
(say hey!)
Echoes of heartbreak
A thunderous boom
Kick drum pounds like my heart in despair
I got the funk and the blues
But you’re not there
[Chorus]
Oh
I’m blue
So blue
Listenin' to the blues
(oh yeah!)
This rhythm moves my feet
But my soul feels bruised
Tambourine's shaking
But I can't break through
In this melody of sorrows
I’m stuck like glue. (woo-hoo!)
[Verse 3]
Keys are dancing
Fingers tickle the light
But I’m haunted by your ghost in the dead of night
The groove won’t quit
It’s a cruel kind of thrill
(oo-wee!)
These funky blues remind me
I love you still
