Why do I have to choose to see everybody lose To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse Love is hard to find love of any kind And a love like yours and mine creates it's own design So why do I have to choose see everybody lose To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse And when I think of her and then I think of you The love is not the same but either love is true Why do I have to choose to see everybody lose To walk around and sing the blues well darling I refuse
