I should be dancin', sipping champagne   Painting the town red, singin' in the rain   I should be the headlines not yesterday's news   Tonight I'll be romancin' the blues      I hope he's happy, wastin' my best years   Guess I'll pour me a stiff one then I'll pour out the tears   I could slip on a brave face but I simply refuse   Tonight I'll be romancin' the blues      You'd think by now that I'd have learned about love   But the record shows I've not done well   You'd think by now that I'd have learned about love   But right now, baby, love can go to hell      Oh, hello heartache, throw me a parade   Let's have a celebration for the mess that I have made   So here's to all the winners from those of us who lose   All of us romancin' the blues      Here's to all the winners from those of us who lose   All of us romancin' the blues   Tonight I am romancin' the blues
