Now I Know What Made Otis Blue

You've got a hold on me, hey, don't you know

We've gone too far for me to let you go

You throw my love away, and then you tried

To see it burning in a stranger's eyes

I remember the good times

I remember the things we used to do

Now I know what made Otis blue

Girl, it must be love that we're goin' through

Now I know what made Otis blue

Every single night, I keep holding you

Don't make me sleep alone, don't make me bleed

How can you waste your love in jealousy?

If we're together, baby, your eyes will see

There is no other lover here with me

Do you remember the good times?

Do you remember when every word was true?

Now I know what made Otis blue

Girl, it must be love we're goin' through

Now I know what made Otis blue

Every single night, I keep holdin' you, yeah

Hey, hey, yeah

Now I know what made Otis blue

There's no one else, only you

And I'm beggin' you, don't turn your heart to hurt this

Oh, no

Now I know what made Otis blue

Ooh

Now I know what made Otis blue

Girl, it must be love we're goin' through

Now I know what made Otis blue

But every night, I keep holdin' you, yeah

(Now I know what made Otis blue)

It must be love that we're goin' through

(Now I know what made Otis blue)

(Every single night, I keep holdin' you)

Every night, girl, I'm holdin' you, oh, yeah

(Now I know what made Otis blue) Holdin' you, girl

(It must be love we're goin' through)

Come back and take this atlas away

(Now I know what made Otis blue) Yeah

(Every single night, I keep holdin' you)

Every single night, I'm wanting you

Gotta come back now, oh, come back now, baby

(Now I know what made Otis blue)

(It must be love we're goin' through)

Every night, you know I'm holdin' you

(Now I know what made Otis blue)

(Every single night)
