Ray Charles - I Chose to Sing the Blues Lyrics

Lyrics I Chose to Sing the Blues - Ray Charles



I could have been a gambler
′Coz I'm good with the cards
I could have been a lover
Breakin′ other's hearts
And I feel so silly
Bettin' on the dice
And a lover seldom sees
The same girl twice
And that is why (that is why)
That′s why I chose (that′s why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues, yes I did
Now, I could have been a doctor
Helping the sick
And I could have been a lawyer
But you know that ain't my stick
′Coz I feel so bad
If a patient didn't do well
And I feel just as bad
To leave a client in jail
And that is why (that is why)
That′s why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
(Sax solo)
Now a man has a lot
That he could present
Just to think I could have been
President
But I can′t understand
What politicians say
So I wanna talk to you
In my own little way
And that is why (that is why)
That's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
Yes I did, friends
Don′t you know what I mean
I like what I′m doin'
You know, I like the blues
Everybody understands
What I mean when I say
Something like this here
Unnnnnnn-hoo
Yeah
Yeah-hoo
That′s what I'm talkin′ 'bout when I sing
{Fade}
