Some people say - that the songs I sing are blue And maybe what they say, what they say… Just might be true But let me tell you – this is the way I really feel And everything I do It’s not fake – it’s really real
And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues Oh-ooh-oh… I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
Some people say - that the blues are really dumb They just don’t know… they don’t know where I’m coming from And I just wanna tell you - It’s the way I feel inside ‘Cause love and happiness - will put tears in your eyes
And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues NO-ooh-oh… I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
Guitar solo
And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues NO-ooh-oh… I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
Some people say - that my songs are just too sad I don’t think so, when I think about the fun I’ve had Livin’ and lovin’, failin’ and achievin’ Then laughin’ and cryin’ – Ooh… Leavin’ and-a grievin’
And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues Gonna say it again - I’m not ashamed to sing the blues No-no-no…. no… not me… (scat…)
