Blue Mood

Love and blues, please.

I must escape from this blue mood somehow

I’ve searched for love all over the country

Why can’t I find a stable love of my own?

Sadness fills my heart, and it makes me cry

If other persons can find the love they want,

There must be a girl somewhere for me

I hope that in time I’ll get the love of my life

 

Let me relate the sad story of my past liaison

I fell in love with another man’s sweetheart

We dated, and we made love in secrecy

I recall the night we slipped away to a motel

We tried very hard to be extra careful,

But something made us discontinue the tryst

The relationship ended, and I wanted to die

 

I’d never slept with a woman before her

In other words, she was my first lover

A wrong love affair seemed to be so right

I woke up every morning with a bright face

Now she’s not available when I need her

This lonely feeling keeps me in a blue mood

I can’t cope with the pain and the misery

 

Some people crave money and jewellery,

But I don’t desire riches and bling

All I need is an affectionate girl to love me,

Preferably a girl who isn’t seeing someone else

I’m eager to start another romance

If it’s a sin to want intimacy, I’m guilty

How I wish this blue mood would go away
