lirik lagu i chose to sing the blues – ray charles

now i could have been a gambler
‘coz i’m good with the cards
i could have been a lover
breakin’ other’s hearts

and i feel so silly
bettin’ on the dice
and a lover seldom sees
the same girl twice

and that is why
(that is why)
oh that’s why i chose
(that’s why i chose)
i chose to sing the blues, yes, i did

now, i could have been a doctor
helping the sick
i could have been a lawyer
but you know that ain’t my stick

‘coz i feel so bad
if a patient didn’t do well
and i feel just as bad
to leave a client in jail

and that is why
(that is why)
oh that’s why i chose
(that’s why i chose)
i chose to sing the blues

now a man has a lot
that he could present
just to think
i could have been president

but i can’t understand
what politicians say
so i wanna talk to you
in my own little way

and that is why
(that is why)
oh
(that’s why i chose)
i chose to sing the blues

yes i did, friends
don’t you know what i mean
i like what i’m doin’

you know, i like the blues
everybody understands
what i mean when i say

something like this here
yeah, that’s what i’m talkin’ ’bout
when i sing, yes, i did
