It didn't pay much 'cause the place was just a dive
Then one night I saw her in the crowd
And she asked if singing with the band would be allowed
It was just weekday night, so I said it would be alright
That's how I met the girl who sang the blues

She sang the blues like no one has ever heard
And you could tell that she'd lived every word
That girl was somethin' special we could see
Then she sang a song of love and looked at me
That girl could do no wrong, so I let her sing all night long
And I fell in love with the girl who sang the blues

I still remember that fateful night
The man with a big cigar
Walked in the club right up to her
Said, "Hey girl, I'm gonna make you a star"

The band and I still play from nine to five
But since that night the music ain't alive
That girl still sings the songs to me I know
But now she's singin' 'em on the radio
And it hurts to realize I'm just one of a million guys

In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues
In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues
In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues
In love with the girl, the girl who sings the blues

It didn't pay much 'cause the place was just a dive
Then one night I saw her in the crowd
