Lyrics
Verse 1
It ain't nothing to you babe,
But it's everything to me.
I got a simple heart darling
You're just crazy as you can be.
I'm standing on the edge babe
You're waiting for me to fall.
I'm doing all I can baby
And you're doing nothing at all.
Chorus
So Right Now! I'm gonna teach you to sing the blues!
Right now! You got to learn to pay your dues!
Right now! You don't know how to sing the blues.
Verse 2
It may be you're problem,
It may be my fault.
Cause you've been pushing and shoving baby
For everything I got!
It's time I take a stand now,
So look out I'm coming at you!
You better plant your feet,
You better grit your teeth
You're gonna see what the blues can do!
Chorus
So Right Now! I'm gonna teach you to sing the blues!
Right now! You got to learn to pay your dues!
Right now! You don't know how to sing the blues.
