Bluest Blues
Alvin Lee · Other Songs - Alvin Lee
Waiting by the door
There was no one there to meet me
And your clothes were on the floor
Sorry if I hurt you
And I made you cry
Couldn't stand to see you
With another guy
It's the bluest blues
And it cuts me like a knife
It's the bluest blues
Since you walked out of my life
Couldn't really tell you
How you hurt my pride
Something broke within me
Down inside
Never knew I loved you
Till you went away
Now the loneliness surrounds me
Every day
It's the bluest blues
Since you walked out of the door
It's the bluest blues
'Cause I won't see you no more
Sorry if I failed you
And somehow I'm to blame
The bluest blues
I'm feeling is a crying shame
Just can't live without you
Face another day
'Cause the bluest blues
I'm feeling and it's here to stay
It's the bluest blues
And it cuts me to the bone
It's the bluest blues
When you can't find your way home
