Invitation to the Blues Lyrics

Well I couldn't sleep last night
Just walked the floor
Don't know how I'll stand this anymore
Lonely all the time since I lost you

Received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I just never go through this much again
Thanks for sending something I can't use
Received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine
And thanks to you the sun will never shine
I walk the floor so much I wore out my shoes
I received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I just never go through this much again
Well lonely me I don't know what to do
Received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I never go though this much again

Thanks for sending something I can't use
Received your invitation to the blues

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
