Lyrics
A WOMAN'S BLUES
©2016 Joe Procopio ASCAP
1. When I woke it was four in the morning
Thought a smoke (walk) would make me feel all right
Seems my mind's got me comin' and goin'
Going on and I don't really know why
I mean I barely get by A WOMAN'S BLUES
Yes, I don't really know why
And I can barely get by
A WOMAN'S BLUES
2. What a joke to be livin' so lonely
Feeling broke and so I started to cry
Seems my life's got me comin' and goin'
Going on and I don't really know why
Too many tlrings have gone by A WOMAN'S BLUES
Yes, I don't really know why
And I can barely get by
A WOMAN'S BLUES
Bridge: I've been told that I can hold my own And I'm sure of what the words can mean
But I'm talking "bout the time in between
I need someone to put my mind at ease
Someone to melt this freeze
Someone to love me please
3. Was a time I thought workin' would free me
Now I find it's not enough to be me
Can it be its just a dream that I'm holdin'
Holding on and I don't really know why
I mean I barely get by A WOMAN'S BLUES
Yes. I don't really know why
And I can barely get by
A WOMAN'S BLUES
Repeat and fade: A WOMAN'S BLUES...A WOMAN'S BLUES...A WOMAN'S BLUES
