Woman's Blues Songtext

von Laura Nyro

My lover's mouth
Been so good to me
My lover's mouth
Been so good to me

It promised joy for a jail house
And a broken key

Woah, God, I got a job
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Woah, God, it's hard
On the chamber's walls of heartache

Baby, don't love me, shuffle
'Cause another one do, another one do

My man's run off
Leave me motherless
My man's run off
Leave me motherless

That man, he ran
Just like a break in a dam

Woah, God, I got a job
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Woah, God, it's hard
On the chamber's walls of heartache

Baby, don't love me, shuffle
'Cause another one do, another one, two

Three, four, five, seven
Oh, you'll never get to Heaven
Don't talk wonder
'Cause God broke thunder above

You were lookin' to hurt
And I was hurtin' to love

My, my, well
If it isn't everlovin' you
My, my, well
If it isn't everlovin' you

Go live as long as an elephant
Go live as long as an elephant
But there won't be
More lovin' woman than me

Woah, got to get gone
Better ride from the hill on my heartache
Woah, got to get gone
Better ride from the hill on heartache

Baby, don't love me, shuffle
'Cause another one

My baby, don't love me
Hitchhike and damn be done

Damn be done, damn be done
Damn be done, damn be done
Damn be done, damn be done
Damn be done
