Even the blues gets the blues Even the saddest things on earth must pay their dues They never had an option Or a choice to choose Even the blues gets the blues Since the dawn of humankind There has been such trouble on their mind Every lover left behind Every dream that came to die Since the dawn of humankind Try as they might There is no respite The blues are getting bluer all the time In warmth's absence only bitter cold Felt in bodies that turned frail and old Missed opportunities Every truth which wasn't told In warmth's absence only cold The universe didn't deal out fair It gave some plenty and it left some bare It made some folks a crown And some a sock without a pair The universe didn't turn out fair It hits hard and fast And heavy as a house full of bricks It can crush the strongest soul Before it can even flinch Even the blues gets the blues Even the saddest things on earth must pay their dues They never had an option Or a choice to choose Even the blues gets the blues Even the blues gets the blues Even the blues gets the blues
