Lyrics

Thank you very much!
 Tell me
 Tell me, do you like the blues? (Yeah)
 Do you really like the blues?
 Good
 Mmm
 In the evenin'
 When the sun goes down
 You goin' to find me
 Doin' what I'm doin' right now, not just sittin' 'round
 The night life
 It ain't no good life
 But it's my life, yes it is
 ♪
 And all good people, good people
 Just like you and me
 Been sittin' around dreamin'
 Sittin' around dreamin' about their used-to-be's
 Well, the night life
 Ask anybody, and it ain't no good life
 But that's alright, because it's my life
 Whoa-oh, yes it is
 Whoa, listen to the blues
 To the blues in what they're playin'
 I wonder tonight, are you really listenin' to the blues
 To the blues and what they're sayin'?
 Well, they seem to be saying to me that
 That many people have loved
 And they seem to be saying to me that many people have lost
 Well listen, they might not have loved at all
 If they had known that they couldn't pay the cost
 Oh, oh, oh, oh
 They tell me, yeah, they tell me, yeah
 They tell me, yeah, they tell me
 They tell me that life it's just an empty scene
 They say that it's older than the oldest broken hearts
 And they tell me that it's newer than the newest of dreams
 Well, the night life
 What I'm doin' right now ain't no good life
 But that's alright with me
 Because it's my life, yes it is
 I tell you that the night life
 Sure ain't no good life
 Yeah, but it's my life
 Yeah
