People say you love but one at time   For every woman there's a man   My baby say she wasn't put here forever   So she's gonna get as many as she can   What can I do   Yes, I just sing the blues   Well, I just sing the blues   'Cause that's the only thing I know to do      Well, some people may be wrong sometimes   But they can't be wrong all the time   Like they say a cat has nine lives   Nine loves has the woman of mine   What can I do   Yes, I just sing the blues   Well, I just sing the blues   'Cause that's the only thing I know to do      Well, the women are funny these days   They do wrong in so many ways   They'll have a man twiddling his fingers   Or either drinking his life away   What can I do   Yes, I just sing the blues   Well, I just sing the blues   'Cause that's the only thing I know to do
