I'm just a woman, a lonely woman,   waiting on the weary shore.   I'm just a woman who's only human,   one you should feel sorry for.      Well, I woke up this morning a long about dawn.   Without a warning I found that he was gone.   Why did he do it? How could he do it?   He'd never done it before.      Am I blue. Am I blue.   Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?   Oh, am I blue? Well, I bet you would be, too,   if each plan with your man done fell through.      There was a time I was his only one.   but now I'm the sad and lonely one.      Was I gay 'til today?   But now that man is gone,   he's gone and we are through.   Am I blue.      There was a time I was his only one.   But now, a, now, now, now, I'm the sad and lonely one.   Oh god, I'm lonely.      But I remember, oh, I remember when I was gay.   That was up until today,   'cause now that man is gone, he's gone and we are through.   Am I, am I, well, would you believe it if I told you I'm blue?
