Now we're dark as hell, but I could sit and wail
We were coming too, I didn't want to sing the blues
I put 'em to a spy baby, empty parking lot
It's startin' to get loose, but I didn't, didn't want to sing the blues
I didn't want to sing the blues

The heat are blowin' strong, the radio is on
Playin' "Don't Be Cruel," I didn't want to sing the blues
Come on I heard you sayin, I slowly pulled away
I knew you wanted to, but I didn't, didn't want to sing the blues
I didn't want to sing the blues yeah

I ain't no wearing you like no tattoo
Turning greener all the time
This ain't no landline show, but I ain't no Brando
But these are old familiar lines

And now she'd shed a tear, I put it into gear
And said I got a crude, I didn't want to sing the blues
I watch you disappear, a dirty rear view mirror
You know I could've loved you, but I didn't, didn't want to sing the blues
I didn't want to sing the blues
I didn't want to sing the blues yeah
I didn't want to sing the blues yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
