Just last night my love said she was leaving

I sat right there and cried until the dawn

Then booze was added to the pain and heartbreak

The combination equalled trouble from then on



Blues plus booze means I lose

Not a right combination for anyone to choose

Nobody knows the feeling till he's been in my shoes

Blues plus booze means I lose

[ piano ]

Tonight I'm fast forgetting how she left me

But tomorrow pain will come on twice as strong

I order stronger booze and louder music

Like I'm happy for tonight but not for long



Blues plus booze means I lose...
