Lyrics Diane Schuur - I'm Not Ashamed To Sing The Blues

Some people say - that the songs I sing are blue
And maybe what they say, what they say…
Just might be true
But let me tell you – this is the way I really feel
And everything I do
It’s not fake – it’s really real

And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
Oh-ooh-oh… I’m not ashamed to sing the blues

Some people say - that the blues are really dumb
They just don’t know… they don’t know where I’m coming from
And I just wanna tell you - It’s the way I feel inside
‘Cause love and happiness - will put tears in your eyes

And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
NO-ooh-oh… I’m not ashamed to sing the blues

Guitar solo

And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
NO-ooh-oh… I’m not ashamed to sing the blues

Some people say - that my songs are just too sad
I don’t think so, when I think about the fun I’ve had
Livin’ and lovin’, failin’ and achievin’
Then laughin’ and cryin’ – Ooh…
Leavin’ and-a grievin’

And I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
Gonna say it again - I’m not ashamed to sing the blues
No-no-no…. no… not me… (scat…)
