This is the story
Of how you get there
And what you learn
When you're going
And how it feels
When you get there
It's like knowing
But not knowing

Oh, baby
Really the blues
Oh, baby
It's really the blues

Oh, baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh, really baby
(Really, really, really)
Oh, baby
Really the blues

This is the story of egg boxes
And rehearsal rooms
Auditions in the want ad section
And playing along
With your favourite tunes
Before you're sent
To the House of Correction

Chorus:
Oh, baby
It's really the blues
Oh, baby
It's really the blues

Oh baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh, really baby
(Really, really, really)
Oh baby
Really the blues

Don't look after your talent
Now you really got the blues
I remember a different you
Don't look after your talent
I guess you're just confused
Now you really got the blues

This is a story
Of how it feels
This is what we call
The life you choose
This is what is life
This is how it feels
Try to stay together
Without blowing a fuse

(Chorus)

Oh, baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh, really baby
(Really, really, really)
Oh, baby
Really the blues

(Chorus)

Oh, baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh really baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh, baby
It's really the blues

(Chorus)

Oh, baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh, really baby
(It's really, really, really)
Oh, baby
Really the blues
