Fumblin' with the Blues

Friday left me fumblin' with the blues

And it's hard to win when you always lose

'Cause the nightspots spend your spirit, beat your head against the wall

Two dead-ends and you've still got to choose

You know, the bartenders, they all know my name

And they catch me when I'm pullin' up lame

And I'm a pool shootin' shimmy shyster shakin' my head

When I should be living clean instead

You know, the ladies I've been seeing off and on

Well, they spend your love and then they're gone

You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel, yeah

Take your love and then they leave on out of town, you know they do

Well now, fallin' in love is such a breeze

But it's standing up that's so hard for me

I wanna squeeze you, but I'm scared to death I'd break your back

You know your perfume, well, it won't let me be

And you know, the bartenders all know my name

And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

I'm a pool shooting shimmy shyster shakin' my head

When I should be living clean instead

Well, come on baby, let your love light shine

Gotta bury me inside of your fire

Because your eyes are enough to blind me, you're like looking at the sun

You gotta whisper, tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper, tell me I'm the one

Gotta whisper, tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper, tell me I'm the one
