[Verse 1]
I've been working so hard
Just came home from my job
Looked down in my wallet
Good God, I've been robbed
Now where (ooh where?) can my money be
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I gonna do now?
I got my bills to pay
[Chorus]
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
Ain't got nothing to lose
[Verse 2]
I got to tell ya I got the blues down in my pockets
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
Why I need my ten dollars today
[Chorus]
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
Ain't got nothing to lose
[Verse 3]
Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's gonna take it from me
[Chorus]
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
Ain't got nothing to lose
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You got me singing the blues
And I'm paying all my dues
You got me singing the blues
Ain't got nothing to lose
[Guitar Solo]
