If I knew how to love you woman
You know I’d tell you the truth
But the trouble that is rocking me
Is the old time news
I want to be alone
While you hold me close to see
How another day breaks
Till I face your memory
I am evil, I am good
According to the angle
From where you take your look
I’m weary, I’m beat
Won’t take another morning
With the tide in deceit
I’m woeful, I’m sorry
For I only seem to take
All the little things that matter
‘Till I’m gone while you’re awake
I’m troubled, I’m sad
And I don’t know what I do
Put down your guns
And you might see my blues
I seek to understand
Do I really love ya?
Or am I in a reminiscent mood
Is it you that I want
Or the acquainted blues
I’m lonely, I’m scared
And I am lost just like you
But while you think that I hate
You oversee the blues
The love that I bear
A chain of mistakes
Is too heavy to lift
And too old to shake
I seek to understand
Do I really love ya?
Or am I in a reminiscent mood
Is it you that I want
Or the acquainted blues
