Love is a word you been sayin’
But your kind of love I don’t need
It’s not for feeling alone, cuts to the bone
Something that might make me bleed
Love ain’t for heartache and cryin’
Or for making me walk out that door
Love ain’t for leaving me lonely
Oh, that’s what the blues are for
Love is a lie you been telling
And the truth could set us both free
Why try to hide all that nothin’ inside
That you been feeling for me
Love ain’t for heartache and cryin’
Or for making me walk out the door
Love ain’t for leaving me lonely
Oh, that’s what the blues are for
The blues they don’t make no promises
Oh, they fill me to the brim with emptiness
They’re only what they are, oh, that’s how it is
They don’t claim to be
They don’t pretend to be
Love ain’t for heartache and cryin’
Or for making me walk out that door
Love ain’t for leaving me lonely
Oh, that’s what the blues are for
The blues they don’t make no promises
Oh, they fill me to the brim with emptiness
They’re only what they are, oh, that’s how it is
They don’t claim to be
They don’t pretend to be
Love ain’t for heartache and cryin’
Or for making me walk out that door
Love ain’t for leaving me lonely
Oh, that’s what the blues are for
That’s what the blues are for
Oh, that’s what the blues are for
Oh, that’s what the blues are for,
Oh, mm, mm, mm
That’s what the blues are for, yea
