Aretha Franklin - Today I Sing the Blues (mono) (overdubbed version) lyrics

Without a word of warnin' The blues walked in this mornin' And circled around my lonely room I didn't know why I had that sad 'n lonely feelin' Until my baby called and said we were through, hooo For yesterday this time I sang a lovesong But today ... I'm singing the blues Now, I know the explanation But to me that's no consolation No, no, it just goes to show you No matter how you love, everybody has got to lose And since I've lost, I'd rather walk around and woe I guess I just walk the darkest avenue For yesterday this time I sang a lovesong But today ... I'm singing the blues Now, it strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way 'Cause we were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah I'm alone again today And it strikes me kinda funny how fate can be so unfair 'Cos I seem to come right on the losin' end in every, every love affair! Yes it must be, it must be meant for me that I should be the one Be the one to always lose, hooo For yesterday this time I sang a lovesong But right now ... I'm singing the blues
