"Blues Is A Woman" lyrics - LOU RAWLS

Blues is a woman in tight black dress
She'd take what you got, leave you in a mess
You stare at the ceiling with an empty feeling
You're pacing up and down the floor, and wonder what you're living for
You know that's the blues

The blues is a sickness that a pill can't cure
A terrible heartache that's hard to endure
You can't help but wonder, if you're going under
You're waking thru the lonely light, looking for a ray of light
You know, a woman is the blues

You never have believed that there could be such pain
But now that follow what you've lost keeps running on your brain
Blues is a woman whose made your life sad
It's downright inhuman to treat you so bad

You can fight the torture, losing her has brought you
You... so hard for living, so you're sure that it's the end
You know, a woman is the blues

You never have believed that there could be such pain
But now that follow what you've lost keeps running on your brain
Blues is a woman whose made your life sad
It's downright inhuman to treat you so bad

You can fight the torture, losing her has brought you
You... so hard for living, so you're sure that it's the end
You know
I said you know
Let me tell you
A woman is the blues
A woman is the blues
Heartaches and pains
A woman is the blues
