cryWonder, could I bear apologize, or would she
sympathize with meMmm, or would she sympathize
with meShe's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as
a girlfriend can beMmm, baby I may be right or
wrongBaby, it your opinion, I may be right or
wrongWatch your close friend, baby, then you
enemies can't do you no harmWhen you got a good
friend that will stay right by your side (2x)Give

you won't to or you do get married") WHY I SING
THE BLUES (King, Clark)You all have been
wonderin', Wonderin' why I sing the blues

married To someone for the rest of your life
(2x)Yes and there is always someone else
Whenever you out of sightYou get the affection of
a servant The kindness of a slave (2x)Yeah you

word you sayI try to say something people
Something just to pacify (2x)I might not have
lived right all of my life But people please
