Nothing New (Same Old Thing)
Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino
Just like you did once before
Nothing new, yeah, the same old thing
You got me singing the blues again
The news is all over town
You got me acting like a clown
Nothing new, yeah, the same old thing
You got me singing the blues again
Telling lies is all you know
You had me believing they were so
Nothing new, yeah, the same old thing
You got me singing the blues again
You build me up, then you let me down
You got my head going round and round
Nothing new, yeah, the same old thing
You got me singing the blues again
