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
