Lyrics
Carelessly Blue
By Mike Lewis
{Intro. Verse}
{Verse 1:}
Yes, I maybe blue, but I don?t mind
I?m used to bein? down, at least most of the time
Life seems to have decided to pass me by
How would this happen to such a nice guy
{Chorus:}
(?Cause I?m?)
Carelessly and hopelessly blue
Deepest funk I ever knew
Ever since me and you were through
I guess I?ll make it
But I ain?t a-gonna fake it.
{Verse 2:}
Will it ever lift, this big dark cloud
Will I raise up my head, walkin? tall and proud
Don?t know if I can stand the light of day
Will it make me glow, guess I?ll never know.
{Chorus.}
{Solo Verse.}
{Chorus.}
{Verse 3:}
One of these days will I come out on top?
Once I get started, ain?t never gonna stop
Gonna be the man of every woman?s dreams
So don?t you laugh Ain?t as bad as it seems.
{Chorus.}
{Solo Verse Out.}
