Barry Manilow They Gave in to the Blues song lyrics

There's a women in this town

Drownin' in a river of her own tears

Cryin' for a man who's name she can't remember

'Cause it's been too many years

Made up her mind the day he left her behind

She'd never find a man like him again

So she closed the door and never looked any more

So of course she's been alone since then

She gave in to the blues

So you know she just had to lose

Soon as she gave in to the blues

There's a man who won't try her, why

He says only fools even play the game

Never have the breaks, the money that it takes

So he says he's not to blame

Started to drink, the day he started to think

The world was out to bring him down for good

So he close the door and drank a little bit more

And went down just like they said he would

He gave in to the blues

So you know he just had to lose

Soon as he give in to the blues

They give in to the blues

So you know they just had to lose

Soon as they give in to the blues

No, don't you give in to the blues

No, no, don't you give in to the blues

No, don't you give in

Don't you give in, don't you give up, don't you give out

Don't you give in to the blues

No, no, don't you give in to the blues
