VERSE
As we were leavin' to eat at her favorite place
I said: "Your hair sure looks great that way."
She looked at me with a smirk on her face
And said: "So you didn't like it yesterday?!"
VERSE
Then she jumped out the car; looked back and said:
"Just have dinner on your own.
I'll have a drink by myself then go to bed.
I know you'll enjoy eatin' dinner alone."
PRE-CHORUS
But little did she know, I'd have a companion...
CHORUS
I'm having dinner with the blues instead of her
Her very short fuse put everything in a stir
It didn't take long for me to understand the news
That I'd be having dinner with the blues
VERSE
Did I mess up that bad? Will she forgive me?
Can't imagine what's next; how real can this be?
I may have lost the best thing I ever had
If I'm eatin' crow, it's tasting really bad
Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
The blues said: "Son, don't take this too hard.
If you get back together, you're the winner
But if you don't, you're the winner either way."
Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, tonight, I'm having dinner with the blues
