lyrics
The papers may say that I've got it okay
But let me tell you the news
believe it or not, you don't want what I've got
you'd be better off with the blues
You may contemplate the swing in my gait
and wish that you were in my shoes
take care where you tread you might find instead
you'd be better off with the blues
We all have our ups and downs with burdens of our own
your's could grow by leaps and bounds
if you think it's greener on your next door neighbor's lawn
You think it's a snap this all just fell in my lap
and that I haven't paid my dues
but the ledger is clear, the cost has been dear
you'd be better off with the blues
We all have our ups and downs with burdens of our own
your's could grow by leaps and bounds
if you think it's greener on your next door neighbor's lawn
you might embrace a change of pace
and think that you've got nothing to lose
be careful or you might get what you wish for
you'd be better off with the blues
But let me tell you the news
believe it or not, you don't want what I've got
you'd be better off with the blues
You may contemplate the swing in my gait
and wish that you were in my shoes
take care where you tread you might find instead
you'd be better off with the blues
We all have our ups and downs with burdens of our own
your's could grow by leaps and bounds
if you think it's greener on your next door neighbor's lawn
You think it's a snap this all just fell in my lap
and that I haven't paid my dues
but the ledger is clear, the cost has been dear
you'd be better off with the blues
We all have our ups and downs with burdens of our own
your's could grow by leaps and bounds
if you think it's greener on your next door neighbor's lawn
you might embrace a change of pace
and think that you've got nothing to lose
be careful or you might get what you wish for
you'd be better off with the blues
