My Attempt at the Blues
She makes your body weak
But your heart it goes on singin’
Yeah your love for her
It’s all tongue in cheek
’cause it’s you she ain’t lovin’
And you can’t keep it from shovin’
Your soul down in a heap .
—-
Yeah she’s got a hold of ya, baby
And she ain’t even tried to reap
Yeah I could have told ya, baby
That you can’t look her in the eye
Now you’re grinding and grinning
Cause that love is like sinning
Andyou ain’t gonna retreat.
—-
Yeah you’d take the devil’s hand
If it meant she’d love you, man
But she loves another
So go home and sleep
Yeah I said she loves another
Boy take a hint, and get out
While you still got some teeth
—-
’cause This girls got a right hook
And man, it drives so damn deep
That if she squared you in the jaw
For weeks your ass would weap
Cause she’d drive that love down
Down your throat with a clean sweep
—-
So take my advice, boy now
Just go home and sleep
Yeah just take these two pennies
And try to make end’s meet
The Way it Goes
