BLUEST MAN ALIVE

THEY SAY BLUES IS A FEELING LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HAD
WELL I KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN, I NEVER FELT SO BAD
THE BLUES IS A WOMAN THAT WONT TREAT YOU RIGHT
THE BLUES KEEP YOU WORRIED SO YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE ALOVE THAT HAS DIED
RIGHT NOW I'M THE BLUEST MAN ALIVE

SO TAKE ME TO THE RIVER AND LET ME JUMP  RIGHT IN
LET THE WATER OVERTAKE  ME AND I WONT SWIM
I'M SICK AND TIRED TRYING TO DO WHATS RIGHT
BUT THESE BLUES HAVE GOT ME AND I'VE GIVE UP THE FIGHT
I'VE BEEN DROWNING IN LOVE AND I CAN'T SURVIVE
RIGHT NOW I'M THE BLUEST MAN ALIVE

BLUES IS LIKE A SICKNESS, KILLS YOU BY DEGREES
CREEPS UP WHEN YOUR STANDING AND LEAVES YOU ON YOUR KNEES
THERE  AINT  NO DOCTOR THAT CAN MAKE YOU WELL
IF THE BLUES DON'T KILL YA YOU'LL BE LIVING IN HELL

I'M THE BLUEST MAN , I'M THE BLUEST MAN ALIVE (x2)
SINGING THESE BLUES IS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE
PLEASE GIVE A HAND FOR THE BLUEST MAN ALIVE



      WHEN BABY DON'T WANNA PLAY


YOU KNOW I LOVE  MY BABY BUT I FEEL THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
EVERY NIGHT WE'VE BEEN TO BED THIS WEEK THERE'S BEEN NOTHING
                                                                                                                             GOING ON

WE HAVE A LOVE SO STRONG, BUT  I  FEEL LIKE IT'S SLIPPIN' AWAY
BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO OR SAY WHEN BABY DONT WANNA PLAY

YOU KNOW I'M HOME EARLY EVERY NIGHT, AND I DONT DRINK TOO MUCH
EVEN SHAVE BEFORE I GO TO BED IN CASE SHE WANTS MY LOVIN TOUCH
IT MAKES ME FEEL SO BAD AND I CAN'T LAST ANOTHER DAY
BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO OR SAY WHEN BABY DONT WANNA PLAY

YOU KNOW I BOUGHT MY BABY PERFUME TO MAKE HER FEEL REAL NICE
EVEN TOOK HER TO THE MOVIES TO SEE HER FAVOURITE PICTURE TWICE
WHEN WE GOT BACK HOME WE WERE LYING ON THE BED
SHE KISSED ME AND SAID "SORRY BABY" AND WATCHED TV INSTEAD

WELL I KNOW MY BABY LOVES ME AND SHE DONT WANNA MAKE ME BLUE
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO OR SAY WHEN BABY DONT WANNA PLAY

YEAH I KNOW MY BABY LOVES ME AND SHE DONT WANNA MAKE ME BLUE
BUT  I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS THING SHE'S GOING THROUGH
WE HAVE A LOVE SO STRONG BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S SLIPPIN AWAY
AINT NOTHING I CAN DO OR SAY WHEN BABY DONT WANNA PLAY

                        WISE TO YOUR JIVE


YOU HAD THE NERVE TO TELL HER, YOU WERE HER MAN
WHEN SHE COULD STILL SMELL THAT PERFUME ON YOUR HANDS
YOU MUST BE CRAZY,MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND
TO THINK SHE'S GONNA FALL FOR THE SAME OLD LINES
SHE GOT WISE TO YOUR JIVE ,JACK (x2)

YOU THOUGHT THAT RUNNIN ROUND WAS JUST A LITTLE FUN
BUT IT'S LIKE FOOLING ROUND WITH A LOADED GUN
IF YOU'RE GONNA GET CAUGHT PLAYING IN THE DIRT
IT'S A 3 TO 1 SHOT SOMEONE GONNA GET HURT
SHE GOT WISE  TO YOUR JIVE(x2)

NOW LOVE CAN MAKE A WOMAN SOME KINDA PRIVATE EYE
BY THE WAY YOU WALK AND TALK SHE'LL DETECT EVERY LIE
SHE'LL ASK YOU WHER YOU WERE ON THE NIGHT OF THE 4TH
WITH HER HANDS DOWN YOUR PANTS JUST TO MAKE YOU TALK

SO YOU START TO TALKIN AND YOUR TONGUE GETS TIED
THEN YOU MUMBLE SOMETHING AND SHE KNOWS YOU LIED
YOU KNEW SOMEDAY SHE'D CATCH YOU IN A LIE
AND SHE'S THE JUDGE AND JURY BOY SO BE PREPARED TO DIE
SHE GOT WISE TO YOUR JIVE(x2)





                                 CRAZY OLE MAN

I USED TO BE YOUR WILD CHILD 
NOW YOU TREAT ME LIKE A CRAZY OLE  MAN(x2)
YOU USED TO WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME, NOW YOU DON'T EVEN 
HOLD MY HAND

ON MY LAST BIRTHDAY BABY, I ASKED YOU FOR THOSE FANCY SHOES
YEAH ON MY LAST BIRTHDAY I ASKED YOU FOR THOSE FANCY
                                                                                 SNAKESKIN SHOES TO WEAR
INSTEAD OF SNAKESKIN SHOES BABY, YOU WENT AND BOUGHT ME,
                                                                                                           A ROCKING CHAIR

I MAY BE GETTING GREY AND MAYBE A LITTLE FAT
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO LOVIN' BABY, I'M LIKE AN OLD TOM CAT
WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND AND LET ME FEEL YOU SCRATCH MY BACK
THEN KISS ME ALL OVER BABY, TILL I HAVE A HEART ATTACK

LET ME BE YOUR WILD CHILD LIKE I USED TO BE
YOU WONT FIND NO YOUNG MAN WHO CAN LOVE AND SATISFY LIKE ME


              HAD NO LOVIN'

AIN'T HAD NO LOVIN' IN A LONG LONG TIME
AIN'T HAD NO KISSIN' NO-ONE TO CALL MINE
AIN'T HAD NO LOVIN' IN A LONG LONG TIME

AIN'T GOT NO WOMAN IN MY BED AT NIGHT
AIN'T GOT NO WOMAN TO SQUEEZE AND HOLD TIGHT
AIN'T HAD NO LOVIN' IN A LONG LONG TIME

I WALK A LONELY STREET, IN A LONELY TOWN
IN A LONELY WORLD WITHOUT A WOMAN AROUND
AIN'T HAD NO LOVIN' IN A LONG LONG TIME

AIN'T HAD NO LOVIN' (x5)
IN A LONG LONG TIME
