The blues made me do it

When I was younger, I was wild and irresponsible
The blues made me do that - it was just like I had no choice

When I was your lover, I was persuaded by another
The blues made me do that baby - it was like I could not help myself

When I was unhappy, I took it out on those who loved me
The blues made me do that baby - it was just like I had no choice

When I was happy, I always did something to screw it up
The blues made me do that, yes they did- like I could not help myself

Yes, the blues made me do that - it was just like I had no choice
