(words & music by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman)
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you [bad word] home
I swear Im goin crazy
Sittin here all alone
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues

I aint slept a wink since Sunday
I cant eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since youve been away
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when youre in love
It sure aint no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
Im gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when youre in love
It sure aint no disgrace

I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
Im gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues

Since youre gone I got a mess of blues
Since youre gone I got a mess of blues
