[Verse 1]
You called it quits and hung up the phone
Now go love the one you choose
And my friends say I should be happy
But if I'm happy, this is a good imitation of the blues

[Chorus]
You've threatened to leave one too many times
I'm getting out-a traveling shoes
And now that you are gone, I'm gonna be walking home
With this good imitation of the blues

[Verse 2]
My friends, all say you're no good without me
And they tell me that's good for you
And they say that I'm just doing fine
This good imitation of the blues

[Chorus]
You've threatened to leave one too many times
I'm getting out-a traveling shoes
And now that you are gone, I'm gonna be walking home
With this good imitation of the blues
