'Cause I've started sinkin' lower

The minute that she waltzed right through that door

Not long ago I held her, like a fool I went and left her

Now she's with somebody new out on that floor

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues

And she's showin' me how much I had to lose

With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues

Well that music's gettin' louder

As my heart keeps beatin' faster

As she spells out regret in perfect time

Well I thought I wanted freedom but that ball and chain I need 'em

'Cause when you choose sometimes you lose the prize

'Cause she's got the rhythm and I got the blues

And she's showin' me how much I had to lose

With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues

Yeah with her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the blues
