Lyrics:
Billie holiday / herbie nicholsLady sings the bluesShe's got them badShe feels so sadWants the world to knowJust what the blues is all aboutLady sings the bluesShe tells her sideNothing to hideNow the world will nowJust what the blues is all aboutThe blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heartWhen you get a bad startWhen you and your man have to partI ain't gonna just sit around and cryAnd now I won't dieBecause I love himLady sings the bluesShe's got 'em badShe feels so sadThe world will knowShe's never gonna sing them no moreNo more
