I've got a right to the blues
I've got a right to be lonely
You were everything that I could lose
I've got a right to the blues.

These arms of mine how they miss you
These lips of mine long to kiss you
This heart of mine heard the bad, bad news
So I've got a right to the blues.

I've got a right to the blues
I've got a right to be lonely
You were everything that I could lose
So I've got a right to the blues.

Another's love now surrounds you
Another's arms are around you
And though it just breaks my heart in two
So I've got a right to be blues.

Oh yes, I've got a right to the blues
I've got a right to be lonely
You were everything that I could lose
So I've got a right to the blues.

So I've got a right to the blues...
