this old bar stool's feelin' higher
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

she's got the rhythm
and i got the blues
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 getting louder
as my heart keeps beating faster
as she spells regret in perfect time
well i thought i wanted freedom
but that ball and chain i need them
cause when you choose
sometimes you lose the prize

she's got the rhythm
and i got the blues
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've got the blues
