Don't Have The Blues

DON'T HAVE THE BLUES

Well, I don’t have a woman, and I don’t have the blues

Suriya was so sweet, as sweet as sweet could be
But I’d have had to marry, her whole family!
Tina was so cool, I loved her very much
But when I reached out, she wouldn’t let me touch
When I think about those women, I get so confused
But I no longer have a woman and I no longer have the blues

Elsa was body beautiful and we loved to talk
But I wasn’t what she wanted, so I had to walk
Sally had the big house, and she had the brains
She also had 4 children and they didn’t have my name
When I think about those women, I get so confused
But I no longer have a woman and I no longer have the blues

Gracie was so lovely, we got on really well
The way she sparkled, put me under her spell
I thought that perhaps, maybe she was the one
But one misunderstanding, and she was gone
When I think about that woman, I get so confused
But I no longer have a woman and I no longer have the blues
No, I don’t have a woman, and I don’t have the blues

((Spoken))
I’m not saying women cause all the problems
I’m not saying women are no good
I certainly don’t hate women
Misogyny? Man, that really sucks
And of course I know there’s much more
To a woman than her looks

But I’ve spoken to many married men
And those married men have said to me
Stay away, don’t go near, you’re lucky to be free
When I say – How so? – pray tell!
They say – gotta go, no time to dwell
If I don’t go now, the wife’ll gimme hell!

I’m not saying I don’t want a woman
I’m not saying I don’t need a woman
But it just so happens that I don’t have the blues
Mmm…What is this mystery called Woman?
Perhaps I’ll never know but what I do know is that
I don’t have a woman and I don’t have the blues.
