I'm just a woman, a lonely woman,
  waiting on the weary shore.
  I'm just a woman who's only human,
  one you should feel sorry for.
    Well, I woke up this morning a long about dawn.
  Without a warning I found that he was gone.
  Why did he do it? How could he do it?
  He'd never done it before.
    Am I blue. Am I blue.
  Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?
  Oh, am I blue? Well, I bet you would be, too,
  if each plan with your man done fell through.
    There was a time I was his only one.
  but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
    Was I gay 'til today?
  But now that man is gone,
  he's gone and we are through.
  Am I blue.
    There was a time I was his only one.
  But now, a, now, now, now, I'm the sad and lonely one.
  Oh god, I'm lonely.
    But I remember, oh, I remember when I was gay.
  That was up until today,
  'cause now that man is gone, he's gone and we are through.
  Am I, am I, well, would you believe it if I told you I'm blue?
