Lyrics

Thank you very much! Tell me Tell me, do you like the blues? (Yeah) Do you really like the blues? Good Mmm In the evenin' When the sun goes down You goin' to find me Doin' what I'm doin' right now, not just sittin' 'round The night life It ain't no good life But it's my life, yes it is And all good people, good people Just like you and me Been sittin' around dreamin' Sittin' around dreamin' about their used-to-be's Well, the night life Ask anybody, and it ain't no good life But that's alright, because it's my life Whoa-oh, yes it is Whoa, listen to the blues To the blues in what they're playin' I wonder tonight, are you really listenin' to the blues To the blues and what they're sayin'? Well, they seem to be saying to me that That many people have loved And they seem to be saying to me that many people have lost Well listen, they might not have loved at all If they had known that they couldn't pay the cost Oh, oh, oh, oh They tell me, yeah, they tell me, yeah They tell me, yeah, they tell me They tell me that life it's just an empty scene They say that it's older than the oldest broken hearts And they tell me that it's newer than the newest of dreams Well, the night life What I'm doin' right now ain't no good life But that's alright with me Because it's my life, yes it is I tell you that the night life Sure ain't no good life Yeah, but it's my life Yeah
