THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS

Baby, since you been gone I haven't tried to find somebody else
The Blues is my faithful companion, so at least I'm not by myself!
If in the beginning, you had let me choose
I'd take the lesser of two evils, I'd take the Blues!
Since I'm only human, I admit that I miss you sometimes
There's not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind!
Then I get to thinking of all the hell you put me through
So give me the lesser of two evil, give me the Blues!
When you told me, you were leaving; it almost came as good news.
That is, after I got over my crazy rotten mood!
It may sound funny, but it's the stone-cold truth
I was left with the lesser of two evils, you left me the Blues!
When you told me you were leaving, it almost came as good news
I was just thinking of all the hell you put me through!
I know what to tell em, when someone asks about you
I got the lesser of two evils, I got the Blues!!!...
