=========================================
I could choose another way to say it
but I'll put it in these blues and play it
And it's not another way to get you
but if you want to take a listen I'll let you
You understand I had to turn the tide
or be taken for another ride
I'm not sorry I decided to
never take another step with you
But I'm sad about it
not down to where I'm lost in pain
but I'm sad about it
I just thought I'd better make it plain
But I'm sad about it
that's nothing but a fact
I'm sad about it
let's leave the way I feel at that
I just had another lonely night
that's something I don't really mind
'Cause it's living and it feels alright
it is better than the chokin' kind
It doesn't have to be a lasting thing
to leave memories that really sting
I'm just glad I never went too far
to lose sight of what you really are
But I'm sad about it
not down to where I'm lost in pain
but I'm sad about it
I just thought I'd better make it plain
And I'm sad about it
that's nothing but a natural fact
I'm sad about it
let's leave the way I feel at that
I don't really care enough to shout it
not even gonna cry about it
Actually I'm feeling kind of good without it
but I'm sad about it
But I'm sad about it
sad about it
Sad about it
I'm sad about it
sad about it, sad about it
Sad about it, sad about it
sad about it, sad about it
Sad about it, sad about it
sad about it, I'm sad about it
Yes, I am sad about it, so sad about it
feelin' sad about it, I'm sad
Don't you know that sad about it, sad about it
sad about it, sad about it
Sad about it, sad about it
sad about it, sad about it
Sad about it, sad about it
yeah
(Sad about it, sad about it)
(sad about it, sad about it)
(Sad about it, sad about it)
(sad about it, sad about it)
(Sad about it, sad about it)
(sad about it, sad about it)
(Sad about it, sad about it)
(sad about it, sad about it)
(Sad about it, sad about it)
(sad about it, sad about it)
