Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worryin', baby, yeah, it's you I hate to lose
Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Well, worries and trouble, darling, babe, you know I've had my share
Everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worryin', baby, yeah, it's you I hate to lose
Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Well, worries and trouble darling, babe, you know I've had my share
The song "Every Day" talks about how the singer has the blues every day because of a lost love. He expresses his feelings of loneliness and being unloved. He claims that he has had his share of worries and troubles but losing his love is what really leaves him feeling blue. He sings about how nobody seems to care and nobody loves him, again emphasizing the theme of loneliness. The repetition of the lyrics "everyday, everyday I have the blues" reinforces this idea that this is a constant and inescapable feeling for the singer.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the pain of lost love and the struggles of loneliness. The use of repetition in the lyrics creates a sense of inevitability that the blues will always be a part of the singer's life because he cannot get over his lost love. The song's use of instrumentation complements this feeling, with a slow tempo and a wistful combination of vocals and instruments.
