I get the blues in the morning.

so bad, I scare myself

my hair is turning gray so fast, I'm worried about my health,



chorus:

and I shiver all over,

I shiver all over,

I shiver all over, 'cause I ain't got you!



I'm burning with a fever.

my stomach's twisted up in knots.

my blood's pressure is up so high

I know it's gonna stop my heart.



I've got spots all over my body,

I wear shades 'cause my eyes are red

I've got a headache that just won't go away.

it's a wonder that I'm not dead.



My doctor looked at my condition,

he said oh, Bob you look a mess

there ain't a thing I can do about you

but, you sure can use a lot of rest.



I can't even sleep at night, 'cause I ain't got you!
