You all have been wonderin',
Wonderin' why i sing the blues
You all have been wonderin',
Wonderin' why i sing the blues
Yeah you just listen
And say you're me instead of you
Ah you won't to or you do get married
To someone for the rest of your life
Ah you won't to or you do get married
To someone for the rest of your life
Yes and there is always someone else
Whenever you out of sight
You get the affection of a servant
The kindness of a slave
You get the affection of a servant
The kindness of a slave
Yeah you get the love of a dog
That can't even hear a word you say
I try to say something people
Something just to pacify
I try to say something people
Something just to pacify
I might not have lived right all of my life
But people please believe me i've tried
