Lyrics
This place is jumpin' all night long
They got me thumpin' their favorite song
I aim to please 'em
I got a reason for the blues
You see she left me on my own
Now all I do is weep and moan
Misery's in season
I got a reason for the blues
Hear the laughter of people havin' fun
What does it matter, my laughin' days are done
Why should I care who's slidin' through that door?
Tell me a story how life's done you in
Your days of glory, your secret sin
Just don't be teasin', already got a reason for the blues
