"I Want You So Bad"

"I Want You So Bad"


Have you ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn't want you
Have you ever, ever wanted someone
And you thought they didn't want you
You know what you wanted
To say to them, people
But you were afraid she may walk away

Someone like you, baby
Someone like you I ain't never had
Oh someone, someone like you
Someone like you I ain't never had
Maybe I'm asking too much, baby
Oh but I want you, I want you so bad

Oh you look so good to me, baby
Baby, I just got to let you know
Yeah, you look so good
So good to me, baby
I just got to let you know
I wanna keep you forever, baby
I don't wanna ever let you go

So whatever you do, baby
Please leave me a way
To get in touch with you
Oh whatever, ever you do, baby
Please leave me a way
To get in touch with you
I need you so bad, baby
When you leave I'll be so sad

"I Was Blind"

"I Was Blind"


I was blind and I could not see
That you were gettin' away from me
But now I know that you are gone

I live by the night
And slumber through the day
Because life don't seem worth livin' anyway

If I could only see
Life would be so miserable to me
Tell me why my love want leave me in misery

Oh, now I haven't be true
But this one I want to be my wife
So baby please, please think of you and me

If I could only see
Life would be so miserable to me
Why would the one I love want to leave me in misery

Oh, haven't been true all of my life
Ah, but this one I want, want her to be my wife
So baby please, baby please think of you and me

"I Wonder Why"

"I Wonder Why"


I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
She don't care if I don't eat
'Cos she don't know how the rent is paid
She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between
She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between
She mistreats me and she cheats me
Meanest woman I ever seen
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight
Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight

"I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water"

"I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water"


Right now, right now, now, baby
Right now, right now's the time
Right now, right now, darlin'
I can change my mind
Right now, I'm realin' and rockin'
I'm spinnin' just like a queen
You'd better have me right now
I don't know how I'll feel
Right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now's the time
You right now, right now, darlin'
I can change my mind
Six month, six month same old sentence
Twelve month won't be long time
To get what you want to me
Have to do I to 99
Right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now's the time
Right now, right now, baby
Don't you know Brownie can change my mind
Right now, my card's on the table
I maybe playin' a loosin' hand
But I'd rather drink muddy water
T' see you with another man
Right now, right now, right now
Right now, darlin', here's the time
Right now, right now
Baby, I can change my mind
Right now, right now, my cup runs over
Well, the whole lotta love for you
Right now, if I was in your shoes
I'd do anything you want me to
Right now, right now, now, baby
Right now, right now's the time
Right now, you'd better have me
Cause I can change my mind
Right now, let's go out together, right now

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"


I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow
And mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

"I'll String Along With You"

"I'll String Along With You"


You may not be an angel
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I'm looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll sing my song to you

For every little fault that you do have
Say, I've got three or four
The human little faults that you do have
Just make me love you much more

You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So, until the day that one comes along, baby
I'll string along with you

You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure that you'll do
So, until the day that one comes along
Baby, I'll string along with you

"I'll Survive"

"I'll Survive"


You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive
Your friends have shown you a much better way
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today
Yes, you go on darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive
Go on! May God bless you
It was fun. While it was fun
Baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done
Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
All your good luck or bad luck
Your friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more baby
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh, go on! May God bless you
Oh, it was fun. While it was fun
Oh baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done
Hey! You go on baby, seek your fortune and fame
All your good good luck or bad luck
Friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh! I'll, I'll survive
Baby, I'll survive

"I'm A King"

"I'm A King"


I've been around the world, seen everything
And if it's love you want baby just give me a ring
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

I've loved in sunshine, I've loved in the rain
All of the women who know me call that loving man
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

Some people go to school to try and learn their trade
Yes, but I'm a lover, a lover by nature
That's why I know, I know, I know I've got it made

Yes, you might think I'm jokin' or just havin' fun
But they tell me the reason I'm the king
I'm a lovin' son of a gun
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues

"I'm Cracking Up Over You"

"I'm Cracking Up Over You"


Days into weeks
Weeks into months
Months into years I'm blue
I'm cracking up over you

I can't survive
I need you here by my side
Every word I say is true
I'm cracking up over you

When I can see you again
Don't know just when that will be
But baby, just look
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?

Why do you torture me?
Never give me a smile
That brings tears from my eyes
I'm cracking up over you

My heart suffers, suffers pain
Nothin' seems to be the same
But with you baby, I'll suffer again
I'm cracking up over you

"I'm Gonna Do What They Do To Me"

"I'm Gonna Do What They Do To Me"


The next woman I get
She gotta have job
I'm not tryin' to be no pimp
I just don't intend to work to hard
I won't have to buy the groceries
She gotta pay the rent
She gotta fill up my car every day
And give me account of every dime she spend

I made up my mind
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me

She gotta make me think she loves me
By staying in her place
And sleep in another room
So she won't be snorin' in my face
And when I ask her for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you have no frown

I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
Yes I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me

Now when I ask for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you be no clown
Now that might sound cold to ya baby
You might think I'm unfair
But I've been hurt so many times
Till I, I really don't care

I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me
