Present: Blues.
I feel this bass beat dropping
in my head,
this thump thump thump
wont let me go.
I've got to sing you something
about the blues
got to let you know
I'm still in love with you.
Blues, baby, blues is all around
it never leaves this forsaken town,
just when I thought I was clear,
that thump thump thump
starts coming near.
I feel the cold night creeping
in my bed
dancing through the pillows
into my head
saying,
"Baby, baby, baby,
go ahead and fall asleep
but don't forget that rhythmic beat."
Ba da daa dump. Da daa da la da daaaa
blues, blues is all around.
I'd like to say I hate you
and your classy style
love to hate your phone number,
hate your smile.
But anytime I think how much I
just might hate,
I realize that it must have been fate.
Ba da daa dump. Da daaa da. La da daaaa.
Thought you made me whole
but it was blues, baby blues
you gave back to my soul.
Now when its quiet all around me and
others sleep so soft,
that thump thump thump
tugs at my mind
and then I hear the bass line
drop in
and its all over,
now I have to sing the blues again.
La da daa dump dump da daaa. La da daaaaa,
that Voodoo Blues came right back in.
