Lusty Blues

from my book - East of Nowhere


Lusty Blues

I say I got the blues for you

honey, darling, baby, baby, baby

you say you're not in love with me

and that all I got is lust

and you say you don't like it

yeah, but I know

you really, really, really

you love it

I'm just a bad man, just a bad man

a bad man feeling good

you're a good woman

good woman feeling bad

I can't be a good man

can't be a good man

feeling bad and you can't be

you can't be a bad woman

bad woman feeling good

oh no baby, it's not lust I got

every time I look at you

even when you're sleeping

I badly got the blues for you

got the blues for you

 yeah - okay

I got the lusty blues for you

blues for you

for you.
