I got the blues but I don't mind
All I have to do is get to you
And then I feel just fine
I'm on a downer, but not all the way
When I'm feeling low you do your thing
Just so, and then I feel OK
You're so good, the way you give
You're so good
You're the best there is
I got the blues, got it oh so bad
When I think of me
It's hard to be a person quite so sad
You got the answer, and it makes me glad
When I'm feeling slow, you gimme rock 'n roll
And then I feel laid back
You're so good, the way you give
You're so good
You're the best there is
Just a lonely soul slowly dying
I was smiling hard but I was lying
Then you sailed along with your sweet dream
When you stole my heart ...I was living
Morning come, sun don't shine
I'll get by without you
I was lost but now I'm found
Turning round ... it was you
