Listening to the radio
With his head hung low
He don't know what to do
Putting on her make-up
The girl she's not giving up
She's got a lot to do
The boy he hurts deep inside
Pain he just can't hide
He can't believe they're through
She paints on a smile
Going out for a awhile
She's got a lot to do
Broken love, young love
Nothing worse, that I can think of
So much pain, must be insane
Don't feel like playing love's game
Every night he cries
Time and again he tries
But the boy's got the blues
She's out on the town
Won't let it get her down
She's shaken off the blues
Repeat Chorus
A note left on a table
Saying "he just wasn't able"
To leave their love behind
She got word of the news
That he died of the blues
That he couldn't leave behind
Listening to the radio
With her head hung low
She don't know what to do
All those tears yet to shed
Over the love she let die
Another victim of the blues
