Blues this bad

Lyrics


I woke up this morning, with something that I've never had
repeat
I've had the blues before
but I've never had the blues,
I've never had the blues this bad


Everyone that I talk to, everybody feelin' down and out
repeat
Everybody's got an answer
but nobody really knows,
nobody really knows what it's all about


There ain't no drugs can help me, my baby she can't ease my mind
repeat
I don't even know what hit me
but I just have to keep on,
I just have to keep on, keep on tryin'


Tables don't stop turnin', who knows what we're headed for
repeat
Nothin' I say or do, ain't gonna mean a thing,
ain't gonna mean a thing and that's for sure
