"Too Busy Crying The Blues" lyrics

Too Busy Crying The Blues

Well, I tried everything I could to forget you
To keep your memory out of my head
I even tried to laugh your leaving off
But ended up a crying instead
I tried to make believe you were a passing fancy
And did everything I could to forget
But my broken heart won't let me
Cause it still loves you yet

Oh, darling
How can a broken heart laugh and be happy
When it's too busy crying the blues?
How can a broken heart forget it's been hurt?
It can't, so there ain't no use
I know cause I've already tried it
And everytime I tried to win I lose
How can a broken heart laugh and be happy
When it's too busy crying the blues?

Well, I said to myself
Time will help me forget
If I'll just try to have me some fun
But I found out after I tried for a while
That it's a whole lot easier said than done
Cause every time I try to lose my blues again
To get rid of your memory
My broken heart is reminding
You're still the only girl for me

Oh, darling
How can a broken heart laugh and be happy
When it's too busy crying the blues?
How can a broken heart forget it's been hurt?
It can't, so there ain't no use
I know cause I've already tried it
And everytime I tried to win I lose
How can a broken heart laugh and be happy
When it's too busy crying the blues?

Oh, darling
How can a broken heart laugh and be happy
When it's too busy crying the blues?
How can a broken heart forget it's been hurt?
It can't, so there ain't no use
I know cause I've already tried it
And everytime I tried to win I lose
How can a broken heart laugh and be happy
When it's too busy crying the blues?
