Don't make a smiley face to get my attention
Don't send a circus clown with colored balloons
Don't go consoling me with honorable mention
I got the blues again, I got the blues again

Ain't gonna buy ginko biloba or ginseng
Ain't got a mojo from a Cajun lagoon
You think I'm smiling but I'll only be wincing
I got the blues again, I got the blues again

CHORUS:
I got the blues over Southern California
I got the blues over nothing at all
I got the blues over losing Louisiana
I got the blues over you
I got the blues over you

Seems like my Mercury is always in retro
Seems like my Venus sent her Cupid to Mars
Your sun is shining, but mine already set, so
I got the blues again, I got the blues again

You think I'm laughing but I've only been growling
You think I'm singing when I howl at the moon
You think I'm dancing but I'm endlessly prowling
I got the blues again, I got the blues again
