When your lover lets you down and your heart is surely breakin' * Your head is in your hands and you think you're gonna cry * There's nothing you can do to make it any better * It's a feelin' you can't lose * It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues * When you're holed up in your room, don't want to see the sun a shining * You're thinking of the past and worried 'bout today * You want to be alone, but you need someone to hold you * You're taking pills and drinkin' booze * It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues * There's no one you can call * And there's no one a calling * You're feeling sorry for yourself and you can't cure your misery * Your body is aching, but you show no sign of fever * It's a feelin' you can't lose * It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues * When you're holed up in your room, don't want to see the sun a shining * You're thinking of the past and worried 'bout today * You want to be alone, but you need someone to hold you * You're taking pills and drinkin' booze * It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues * You're taking pills and drinkin' booze * It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues.
