Barry Manilow - They Gave In To The Blues Lyrics

There's a women in this town
Drownin' in a river of her own tears
Cryin' for a man who's name she can't remember
'Cause it's been too many years

Made up her mind the day he left her behind
She'd never find a man like him again
So she closed the door and never looked any more
So of course she's been alone since then

She gave in to the blues
So you know she just had to lose
Soon as she gave in to the blues

There's a man who won't try her, why
He says only fools even play the game
Never have the breaks, the money that it takes
So he says he's not to blame

Started to drink, the day he started to think
The world was out to bring him down for good
So he close the door and drank a little bit more
And went down just like they said he would

He gave in to the blues
So you know he just had to lose
Soon as he give in to the blues

They give in to the blues
So you know they just had to lose
Soon as they give in to the blues

No, don't you give in to the blues
No, no, don't you give in to the blues
No, don't you give in

Don't you give in, don't you give up, don't you give out
Don't you give in to the blues
No, no, don't you give in to the blues
