  • I got the blues, but I don't mind
    All I have to do is get to you and then I feel just fine
    I'm on a downer, but not all the way
    When I'm feelin' low, you do your thing just so
    And then I feel okay

    You're so good, the way you give
    You're so good, you're the best there is

    I got the blues, got it oh, so bad
    When I think of me, it's hard to be a person quite so sad
    'Cause you got the answer and it makes me glad
    When I'm feelin' slough, you give me rock 'n' roll
    And then I feel laid back

    You're so good, the way you give
    You're so good, you're the best there is

    Just a lonely soul slowly dyin'
    I was smilin' hard, but I was lyin'
    And then you sailed along with your sweet dream
    When you stole my heart
    I was livid

    Mornin' come, sun don't shine
    I'll get by without you
    I was lost, but now I'm found
    Turnin' around, it was you
    Mornin' come, sun don't shine
    I'll get by without you
    I was lost, but now I'm found
    Turnin' around, it was you

    Just a lonely soul (mornin' come, sun don't shine)
    Slowly dyin' (I'll get by without you)
    I was smilin' hard (I was lost, but now I'm found)
    But I was lyin' (turnin' around, it was you)
    Then you sailed along (mornin' come, sun don't shine)
    With your sweet dream (I'll get by without you)
    When you stole my heart (I was lost, but now I'm found)
    I was livid (turnin' around, it was you) Writer/s: Labi Siffre
