Done the things I said I would

Some of them were pretty good

Suddenly they changed the game

I only know it's not the same no more

I don't know what to do the rules I knew

Ain't it sad
Ain't it sad
Ain't it true
Ain't it true
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue

Ain't it blue

The life I live is pretty and nice

Of course I had to pay a price

Lots of folks depend on me

Erase all kinds of slavery  what for

Don't know what to do the rules I knew

Ain't it sad
Ain't it sad
Ain't it true
Ain't it true
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue

Ain't it blue

Ooh  hoo  hoo

Ooh  hoo  hoo

Sometimes I want to walk away

I felt like that just yesterday

But then this song is in my head

I tried my best 'till I'm dead and gone

Don't know what to do the rules I knew

Ain't it sad
Ain't it sad
Ain't it true
Ain't it true

Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue

Ain't it blue

Ooh  hoo  hoo

Ooh  hoo  hoo

Ooh  hoo  hoo

Ooh  hoo  hoo
