Lyrics

Say you want the blues?
You got two timinĀ? motives
your pants are on fire.
If it were legal to do
then I would musically sue.
(Just for you)
Gonna get you talkinĀ? about it
from Oregon to Maine.
So instead of looking at me,
start looking at you.
IĀ?ve got the blues!

* Blues rockinĀ? no stoppinĀ?;
I got some styling to do.
IĀ?m saying blues playing.
Hey, ainĀ?t you got somethinĀ? better to do?

If you donĀ?t try the man,
then you donĀ?t get the money.
And I donĀ?t specialize in some wannabe brew.
The best IĀ?ll suggest is you relax it, honey.
Ā?Cause IĀ?m an axe-slinginĀ? dude
and what I play is the blues.
I got the blues!

* Blues rockinĀ? no stoppinĀ?;
I got some styling to do.
IĀ?m saying blues playing.
Hey ainĀ?t you got somethinĀ? better to do?
* Blues rockinĀ? no stoppinĀ?;
I got some styling to do.
IĀ?m saying blues playing.
Hey, ainĀ?t you got somethinĀ? better to do?
