Do you know what it means to walk alone? And what it means to be, be by yourself? Do you know what it means when there's no one to bring you good news? Then you know, you know the meaning of the blues Do you know what it means to cry alone? And what it means to cry by yourself? Do you know what it means to love a woman you can't own? If you do, then you know the meaning of the blues I've been weeping and weeping, Moaning and moaning, Crying and sighing all the day I've been hiding my tears Feel like dying Wishing love would come to stay And do you know what it means when the lord is taken away? I cry, oh I cry Oh I cry everyday Yes I know what it means to walk alone And how it feels to walk by myself Yes I know what it means to love a woman you can't own Yes I do, I know the meaning of the blues Yes I know the meaning of the blues Woo-hoo
