Every minute in the day, every day in the week
Every week in the month, and every month in the year
I've got the blues so bad, I hardly know my name
Since my baby went away I never been the same
I'm like a ship without a sail
I'm like a tide with a tail
I'm like a fish on dry land
Lord I need my man
I got the blues so bad
I hardly know my name
Since my daddy went away I never been the same
Well I tried to play love fair
But Vic's been cheated everywhere
And now I got me a different plan
I'm out for anybody's man
I've got the blues so bad
I'm grieving myself away
Haven't had a bite to eat since the day before yesterday
