Sometimes my lover turns me down Acts like she don't want me around She act like I'm her en-e-my I b'lieve she got it in for me But when things don't go the way they should I just remember that the blues'll do your heart good The blues'll do your heart good The blues'll do your heart good When things don't go the way they should I just remember that the blues'll do your heart good I remember when I lost my job I was thinking 'bout the choke and rob But if I ever went to jail My own mother wouldn't go my bail But when things don't go the way they should I just remember that the blues'll do your heart good Never give up on your dream Times are not as hard as they might seem Remember what the old folks say Every dog will have his day And when things don't go the way they should Just remember that the blues'll do your heart good
