Jailhouse Blues

I did it for you darling
This mistake that I made
I did it all for you

Because I couldn't bring myself around to realise
That the love
That you once had for me
Just doesn't exist anymore

I thought that by this very bold move
That I might light that flame
That once burned in your heart

And as I sit here on the inside looking on the outside
Darling
I wonder if your love is as prosperious
As fruitful
As happy as you desire

Yes, darling I've got the Jailhouse Blues
And even though I don't know what's going to happen with my future
And I don't care
If it's not with you
Always
Remember darling
I did it just for you
Because I love you
Very very very much
