ooh (the blues)

some people say such awful things

i don't understand they'reso hateful

we don't need those diamond rings

even though they look so tasteful

chichi parties

so important

sink a fortune

high-class apartment

one or two ooh-oohs

make you feel so good

it's not a threat to nobody

in fact the people they should

ooh

don't you give me them blues

i got magie in my dancing shoes

let me hear you say ooooh

when you talk sweet things in my ear

i get so hot inside i'm burnin' my clothes

measure distances with tears

the tracks'll run for miles when i feel those

mixed emotions

in your heart

guilty feelings

you fall apart

obe or twa ooooh's

nothing left to lose

i'm not a threat to nobody

don't try and give me them blues

say hey honey baby don't you know

ain't got any money left to blow

can't buy you no snow cone

even when it's hot outside
