The blues don't mean a thing in my young life
Somewhere, somehow I lose 'em
The gals don't mean a thing in my young life
Somewhere, somehow I lose 'em

Never a care, never a tear
Never a heartache that I can't bear
So, sweetheart, please don't try to make me blue
'Cause I can't love you like you want me to

(Instrumental Break)

My dreams don't mean a thing in my young life
Somewhere, somehow I lose 'em
My schemes don't mean a thing in my young life
Somewhere, somehow I lose 'em

Well, never a care, never a tear
Never a heartache that I can't bear
So, sweetheart, please don't try to make me blue
'Cause I can't love you like you want me to
