I get the blues in the morning.
so bad, I scare myself
my hair is turning gray so fast, I’m worried about my health,
chorus:
and I shiver all over,
I shiver all over,
I shiver all over, ’cause I ain’t got you!
I’m burning with a fever.
my stomach’s twisted up in knots.
my blood’s pressure is up so high
I know it’s gonna stop my heart.
I’ve got spots all over my body,
I wear shades ’cause my eyes are red
I’ve got a headache that just won’t go away.
it’s a wonder that I’m not dead.
My doctor looked at my condition,
he said oh, Bob you look a mess
there ain’t a thing I can do about you
but, you sure can use a lot of rest.
I can’t even sleep at night, ’cause I ain’t got you!
