[English]

I remember you walked out the door

So I stayed awake for days

No pill or drink could get me off the floor

Nothing seemed to ease the pain

Listen to me, honey

I've got something new to say

I forgive but can't forget your mistakes

Now I think it's time for you to pay

Oh, he's Mr. Hughes

And he's got the blues

'Cause his high school dreams

They never went too far

And he's Mr. Hughes

And he's got the blues

'Cause he missed his chance to be with a star

Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

This is for the times you broke my heart

And all the years you led me on

Now you're asking for a brand new start

But you're way too late and now I'm gone

Listen to me, honey

I've got something new to say

I forgive but can't forget your mistakes

Now I think it's time for you to pay

Oh, he's Mr. Hughes

And he's got the blues

'Cause his high school dreams

They never went too far

And he's Mr. Hughes

And he's got the blues

'Cause he missed his chance to be with a star

Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

...

...

How could you think I'm so stupid

I wouldn't see through?

I always do

Now I got a new man

And he's ten times the man

You could ever be, Mr. Hughes

Oh, he's Mr. Hughes

And he's got the blues (he's got the blues)

'Cause his high school dreams

They never went too far

And he's Mr. Hughes

And he's got the blues

'Cause he missed his chance to be with a star

Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mr. Hughes, I ain't missin' you
