blak and blu

clark, jr., gary

when you're feeling down and out

when you're feeling black and blue

you should feel like you can come to me

and i'll tell you the truth

yet somewhere we got twisted

how do we get lifted?

how did we not go insane?

for so long we've existed

still we are resisted

why is it we still remain?

black and blue

yeah

black

black and blue

oh no

don't leave me

black and blue

yeah

black

black and blue

oh no

don't leave me

they say you get just what you paid for

and that you reap just what you sow

so

you won't get everything you pray for

surprises me that you don't know

by now

i need something to hold on to

while the world is spinning 'round and 'round

it could crumble any moment

i keep my feet on solid ground

for now
