Lyrics

There's no doubt about it

Expressing certainty or confidence about a situation.

A may as well shout about it

Indicating a strong desire to communicate or express something.

I got the blues

Acknowledging a state of sadness or melancholy.

I got'em bad

Emphasizing the severity of the blues or emotional distress.


Yes this awful feeling

Describing a profound and distressing emotion.

When you don't have what you thought you had

Expressing disappointment when expectations are not met.

Oh yesterday, yesterday I sang love songs

Reflecting on a previous time when love was celebrated.

But today I got'em bad

Contrasting the past joyous state with the current intense blues.


Oh, I didn't know she would leave me

Realization of a significant other's departure.

I didn't know she was gone

Unawareness of the partner's absence until the realization hits.

Well, at last she should've told me goodbye people

Suggesting a lack of proper farewell communication.

But she stole away while I was gone

Describing the partner leaving unexpectedly.

Yes that's what makes me feel so sad people

Expressing the source of deep sadness – the sudden departure.

Oh, and today I got'em bad

Reiterating the current intense emotional state.


Oh, I could tell you much more people

Hinting at additional details about the situation.

But I think you already how I feel

Suggesting that the audience already understands the emotional state.

Oh, I could tell you much, much, much more people

Expressing a desire to share more about the distressing situation.

But I think you already how I feel

Reiterating the assumption that the audience comprehends the emotional pain.

Yes, you know I'm hurt beyond explaining people

Indicating a profound and indescribable hurt.

And it's all because I've got a dirty deal

Attributing the pain to a perceived unfair or dishonest situation.
