Lou Rawls - Blues Is a Woman lyrics

Blues is a woman in tight black dress She'd take what you got, leave you in a mess You stare at the ceiling with an empty feeling You're pacing up and down the floor, and wonder what you're living for You know that's the blues The blues is a sickness that a pill can't cure A terrible heartache that's hard to endure You can't help but wonder, if you're going under You're waking thru the lonely light, looking for a ray of light You know, a woman is the blues You never have believed that there could be such pain But now that follow what you've lost keeps running on your brain Blues is a woman whose made your life sad It's downright inhuman to treat you so bad You can fight the torture, losing her has brought you You ..... so hard for living, so you're sure that it's the end You know, a woman is the blues You never have believed that there could be such pain But now that follow what you've lost keeps running on your brain Blues is a woman whose made your life sad It's downright inhuman to treat you so bad You can fight the torture, losing her has brought you You ..... so hard for living, so you're sure that it's the end You know I said you know Let me tell you A woman is the blues A woman is the blues Heartaches and pains A woman is the blues
