White Rhythm and Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't want you to hold me tight 'Til you're mine to hold And I don't even want you to stay all night Just until the moon turns cold [Chorus 1] She said all I need is black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose Black roses, white rhythm and blues [Verse 2] You say that somebody really loves you You'd find her if you just knew how But honey, everyone in the whole wide world Is probably asleep by now [Chorus 2] Wishing for black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose Black roses, white rhythm and blues [Bridge] Close your eyes, and sleep away all your blues I've done everything but lie Now I don't know what else I can do [Verse 3] Oh, the night time sighs and I hear myself But the words just stick in my throat Don't you think that a man like me Might-a hurt much more than it shows [Chorus 3] Just send me black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose I need some white rhythm and blues [Chorus 4] I need, black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose Just play a little hillbilly rhythm and blues [Chorus 3] Black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody, who cares when you lose I need some white rhythm and blues [Chorus 5] She said all I need is, black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody, (somebody), who cares when you lose I need a little white rhythm and blues
