Don't tell me
About the blues
I got some blues of my own
Don't tell me
About the blues
I got my own broken bones
I was born this way
Don't get to choose
Don't tell me
About the blues
Don't tell me
About the blues
Don't you treat me like a fool
You're acting like some kind of teacher
But the blues
Ain't got no rules
I've lost so much
Ain't got nothing more to lose
Don't tell me
About the blues
Tell me about the blues
I'm going down now
I'm going down real low
Sometimes I get some scare
Just how far down I can go
But I was born this way
And don't get to choose
Don't tell me
About the blues
Don't you tell me about the blues
