[Verse 1]
Blues, stay away from me
Blues, why don't you let me be?
Don't know why you keep on haunting me

[Verse 2]
Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
It seems somehow, we never can agree

[Verse 3]
Life is full of misery
Dreams are like a memory
Bringing back your love that used to be

[Verse 4]
Tears, so many I can't see
Years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still, I can't be free

[Verse 5]
Blues, stay away from me
Blues, why don't you let me be?
Times goes by and still, I can't be free
