I know you were expecting teardrops when you told me
'Bout your somebody else, I hope I didn't disappoint you
By taking it all so well and if I don't seem as broken hearted
As you thought I should be, it's just the blues ain't news to me

I've got it down being down, I knew my way around
I've shed my shear of tears, I've seen enough breaking up
Seems like it taking up most of adult years
Yes, I'm familiar with the situation, it's my semi occupation
I said the blues ain't news to me

It's nice to know you're worried about me, concerned
About the way I feel, well it's just another day at the office, baby
It really ain't no big deal, now I've almost got it to a science
They oughta give me a degree, it's just the blues ain't news to me

I've got it down being down, I knew my way around
I've shed my shear of tears, I've seen enough breaking up
Seems like it taking up most of adult years
Yes, I'm familiar with the situation, it's my semi occupation
I said the blues ain't news to me

So if I'm quite devastated, don't take it too personally
It's just the blues ain't news to me
