"Lady Sings The Blues" lyrics - ANDRA DAY

ANDRA DAY
"Lady Sings The Blues"
(Billie Holiday / Herbie Nichols)

[Chorus 1:]
Lady sings the blues
She's got them bad
She feels so sad
And wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about

[Chorus 2:]
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
And now the world will know
Just what her blues is all about

The blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him

[Chorus 3:]
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you, she's got 'em bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing 'em no more

'Cause the blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
And I don't wanna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him

[Outro:]
Lady sings the blues
I'm tellin' you, she's got them bad
And ah, the world will know
She's never gonna sing 'em no more
No more
