I woke up this mornin'
I was feelin' so bad
I didn't know what was wrong
I had a pain in my head
My mind was so troubled
From what I did not know
I took a look at my face in the mirror
And lo and behold
The blues was there
I said the blues was there
♪
I felt like cryin'
But the tears would not come
I felt like talkin'
To someone, but no one was there
I started to thinkin'
And the more I thought, the more I dropped
I just kept right on sinkin'
'Cause I could not stop it
The blues had taken over
I said the blues had taken over

I woke up this mornin'
I should've never went to sleep
I wish I had a kept on dreamin'
'Cause reality, it ain't easy
I was dreamin' my life had changed
I was dreamin' 'bout peace of mind
And when I started dreamin' 'bout me and you
Mmm, that's when I woke up tired
Tired of the blues, I'm so tired of the blues
The blues are takin' over
And I've lost control
The blues have taken over
And they're runnin' my soul
Every day I've got the blues
Every night, night, night, night, night, night
I got the blues
Those livin', lovin'
Tryin' to make it
Whoa, 70's can't find their blues
And I got 'em bad
Go on and play now, go on and play
The blues have taken over
And I've lost control
The blues have taken over
And they're runnin' my soul
Every day I've got the blues
Every night, night, night, night, night
I got the blues
Those livin', lovin'
Tryin' to make it
Whoa, 70's can't find their blues
And I got 'em bad, I got 'em bad
I got 'em bad
The blues have taken over
The blues are runnin' my soul
The blues have taken over
And I have lost control
