70's Blues - Betty Davis

I woke up this morning, I was feelin' so bad

I didn’t know what was wrong

I had a pain in my head

My mind was so troubled, from what I did not know

I took a look at my face in the mirror

And lo and behold, the blues was there

I said the blues was there

I felt like cryin', but the tears would not cry

I felt like talkin' to someone

But no one was there

I started to thinkin'

And the more I thought, the more I dropped

I just kept right on sinkin'

'Cause I could not stop it

The blues had taken over

I said the blues had taken over

I woke up this morning

I shouldn’t have never went to sleep

I wish I had-a kept on dreamin'

'Cause reality, it ain’t easy

I was dreamin' my life had change

I was dreamin' 'bout peace and mind

And when I started dreamin' 'bout men

You owe, mm that’s when I woke up tired

Tired of the blues, I’m so tired of the blues

The blues are takin' over, I’ve lost control

The blues are takin' over

And they’re runnin' my soul

Every day I’ve got the blues

Every night, night-night

Night-night-night, I got the blues

Those livin', lovin', tryin' to make it

Oh seven nation can’t find their blues

And I got 'em bad

Go on an' play now, go on an' play

The blues have taken over

And I’ve lost control

The blues have taken over

And they’re runnin' my soul

Every day I’ve got the blues

Every night, night-night

Night-night-night, I got the blues

Those livin', lovin', tryin' to make it

Oh seven nation can’t find their blues

And I got 'em bad, I got 'em bad

I got 'em bad

The blues have taken over

The blues are runnin' my soul

The blues have taken over

And I have lost control
