MISERY BLUES
music & lyrics by
phil morrison

Well it's early in the mornin' & I just ain't feelin' right
I know it's 'cause my baby up and left me last night
He told me he was leavin' 'cause I had a rovin' eye
But lookin' don't mean touchin'...so why'd he say goodbye

I got the blues....blue as I can be
My heart is hangin' heavy....and I'm deep in misery

We never used to argue - he'd do anything I'd say
And no matter what the deal was - I'd always get my way
But ever since he left me - I been feelin' all alone
There's nothing that I wouldn't do to bring my baby home
(Can't eat, can't sleep, I toss & turn 'cause I'm hurtin' to the bone...

I got the blues....blue as I can be
My heart is hangin' heavy....and I'm deep in misery

I went down to this night club - just to get away
The waiter came and offered my a refreshing Chardonnay
I'm not much for drinkin' so that wasn't in my plan....
But then I saw this woman....she was kissin' all over my man

I got the blues....blue as I can be
My heart is hangin' heavy....and I'm deep in misery

Now every woman's had heartache - at one time or another
All we have to do is see a fine looking brother
He'll talk that talk real silky smooth & tell you how good you look
While all the time he's schemin'....but you don't care 'cause now you're hooked

I got the blues....blue as I can be
My heart is hangin' heavy ....and I'm deep in misery
