I turn my head to the sky
When you pass by,
But I want to cry
Because my heart is under the spell of the blues.

Or I go around acting gay,
Say it's okay,
Pretending each day,
Though I'm alone and under the spell of the blues.

Since we're apart,
The dawn
Brings only heartache to me!
You're gone,
I'm like a lone ship at sea
With my misery!

I say that I'm satisfied,
No use to hide,
What goes on inside it's true,
My heart is under the spell of the blues.

I say that I'm satisfied,
No use to hide,
What goes on inside it's true,
My heart is under the spell of the blues.
