What Did I Do To Be So Black And Blue - Lou Rawls
Cold empty bed springs hard as lead
Pains in my head feel like old ned
What did I do to be so black and blue
No joys for me no company
Even the mouse ran from my house
All my life through I've been so black and blue
I'm white I'm white inside but that don't help my case
Cause I thought I just can't hide what is on my face
I'm so forlorn life's just a thorn
My heart is torn why was I born
What did I do to be so black and blue
No joys for me no no company
Even the mouse even the mouse ran from my house
All my life through I've been so black and blue
Can you tell me how
How will it end ain't I ain't got no friends
My only sin my only sin is in my skin
But in that what did I do to be so black and blue
But in that what did I do
To be so black and blue
And no more to be
And no more to be so black and blue
