Curtis Mayfield — Blue Monday People

[Verse 1] Some people feel so empty All their problems and hurt of pride You make me so happy, sweet baby Love is by my side [Pre-Chorus] Waking up now in the morning A little morning sigh Ready not to get it together We know temptation Don't tell the whole story But you and me, baby We have taken inventory [Chorus] (Blue Monday people) We Blue Monday people And I know there's a few (Blue Monday people) I don't know your problems Only you know how to solve them (Blue Monday people) When seasons are strong Sometimes your life don't get along (Blue Monday people) But when cupboards are bare Our love we can share [Verse 2] Truth is not the whole question (Truth is not the whole question) What is the answer you hide? (Answer you hide) The system need us But it's trying to mislead us They know this money don't feed us [Pre-Chorus] Depression ain't just Quite what you promised Won't you, mister, be honest Acting like a child Sometimes we get wild Right when the loving is strong We don't want to get along Don't have to listen to me One day you may see [Chorus] (Blue Monday people) We Blue Monday people Just trying in a strain (Blue Monday people) Life breaking our hearts I'm so tired, it's a shame (Blue Monday people) This hustling affair Ain't the way I even care We'll be together in spite Of the crimes of the night Crimes of the night Crimes of the night [Bridge] Need someone to see me through Need someone to comfort me Sometimes you can let me be Just let me be [Pre-Chorus] Depression ain't just Quite what you promised Won't you mister be honest Acting like a child Sometimes we get wild Right when the loving is strong We don't want to get along Don't have to listen to me One day you may see [Chorus] (Blue Monday people) We Blue Monday people And I know there's a few (Blue Monday people) I don't know your problems Only you know hot to solve them (Blue Monday people) When seasons are strong Sometimes your life don't get along (Blue Monday people) But when cupboards are bare Our love we can share (Blue Monday people) [Outro] We're Blue Monday people (Blue Monday people) We're Blue Monday people (Blue Monday people) Ah ah (Blue Monday people)
