Some people say That the songs I sing are blues And maybe what they say What they say just might be true But let me tell you This is the way I really feel And everything I do It's not fake, it's real And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues Oh, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues ♪ Some people say That the blues are really done But they just don't know They don't know where I'm coming from And I just wanna tell you It's the way I feel inside It's love and happiness That have put tears in your eyes And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues Oh, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues ♪ Some people say That my songs are just too sad But I don't think so When I think about the fun I've had Living and loving Failing and achieving The laughing and and the crying The creeping and the grieving And I'm not ashamed to sing the blues No, I'm not ashamed to sing the blues
