The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm right Maybe I just don't know Will I ever fall in love And never have to worry That I'm fallin' all alone? Maybe it's true I was just born to be blue Maybe it's true I was just born to be blue They say everybody's got a someone A sweet somebody to love It might be fate or destiny May be written in the stars above But I can't help but wonder After all that I've been through Maybe my baby's nowhere to be found And I was just born to be blue Was I born to be unhappy? Just to live on heartache street Was I born to go to bed each night And cry myself to sleep? Can somebody out there help me? Give me some kind of clue Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right But, don't tell me I was born to be blue They say nobody dies from a heartache You can't drown in your own tears But who wants to live in this world alone Where minutes turn into years? So I'd rather go down believin' Suffer a heartache or two Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right But, don't tell me I was born to be blue Was I born to be blue? Born just to cry? Born to be alone 'til the day I die? Somebody tell me Was I born to be loved? Born to be kissed? Born to find the one to show me what I missed? Was I born to be blue? Born just to cry? Born to be alone 'til the day I die? Tell me, Mama Was I born to be loved? Born to be kissed? Born to find the one to show me what I missed?
