Lyrics
INTRO
Sometimes you treat me like you just don't care
You make me feel so low and
Just when I feel like giving up on you
You start comin' 'round again
VERSE I
And not my eyes want to cry
Tears that are dry
I've got to be strong
So the blues won't get me
Mustn't give in
Mustn't give in to the blues
Verse II
My heart keeps aching so bad
Feeling so sad
I've got to be strong so the blues won't get me
Mustn't give in
Mustn't give in to the blues
Bridge
I try to say to myself you're not for me
Why should I be your fool?
But then my heart seems to say
I want it that way
Even though you treat me so cruel
VERSE III
Now tell me, why must love be such misery?
I've got to be strong so the blues won't get me
Mustn't give in
Mustn't give in to the blues
