Betty Davis — 70s Blues

[Verse 1] I woke up this morning, I was feelin' so bad I didn't know what was wrong I had a pain in my head My mind was so troubled from what I did not know I took a look at my face in the mirror And lo and behold, the blues was there I said the blues was there [Verse 2] I felt like cryin', but the tears would not cry I felt like talkin' to someone But no one was there I started to thinkin' And the more I thought, the more I dropped I just kept right on sinkin' 'Cause I could not stop it The blues had taken over I said the blues had taken over [Verse 3] I woke up this morning I shouldn't have never went to sleep I wish I had-a kept on dreamin' 'Cause reality, it ain't easy I was dreamin' my life had change I was dreamin' 'bout peace and mind And when I started dreamin' 'bout men You owe, mm, that's when I woke up tired Tired of the blues, I'm so tired of the blues The blues are takin' over, I've lost control The blues are takin' over And they're runnin' my soul Every day I've got the blues Every night, night-night Night-night-night, I got the blues Those livin', lovin', tryin' to make it Oh seven nation can't find their blues And I got 'em bad Go on an' play now, go on an' play [Verse 4] The blues have taken over And I've lost control The blues have taken over And they're runnin' my soul Every day I've got the blues Every night, night-night Night-night-night, I got the blues Those livin', lovin', tryin' to make it Oh seven nation can't find their blues And I got 'em bad, I got 'em bad I got 'em bad The blues have taken over The blues are runnin' my soul The blues have taken over And I have lost control
