blues talking to me

I woke up this morning
blues were in my bed
woke up this morning
blues were in my bed
I said to the blues
"why aren't you my girl instead"

blues said "what girl
don't you know you're all alone
I don't see no girl
all I see is you alone
if you've got a girl
get her on the telephone"

I said to the blues
"why don't you leave me be
I'm tired of you
and the way you're treating me
be a good guy, blues,
and set this poor boy free"

"I need evidence"
those were the words you spoke
evidence is needed
those were the words you spoke
I shook my head and said
"man, this is a joke"

blues talking to me
as I lay alone in bed
blues talking to me
I'm lying down in bed
I said to the blues
"why aren't you my girl instead"
