Lyrics

UP ALL NIGHT

I woke up this morning, my throat was tight
I tossed and turned all night
and now I think I?ve got a fever too
I ache all over, my eyes are red
I think I?ll just go back to bed
I been up all night, coming down with the blues

I need a doctor, find me a nurse
my condition?s getting steadily worse
I was diagnosed back in 1982
I?m term.....in.....al....ly romantic
left on my own I get frantic
I been up all night, coming down with the blues

so I called my doctor, here?s what the doctor said
take two new lips and go back to bed

so I?ll dance again to that same old tune
you think by now I?d be immune
Lord knows I paid my share of dues
but there?s no cure for this disease
the blues gonna be the death of me
I been up all night, coming down with the blues
