Tony Toni Tone - The Blues Lyrics

You know what, fellas?
What?
I wanna get this beat
Pull out them drums loud
I wanna hear 'em kicking
Kick it so hard they kick 'em way back in Mississippi
Like that?
Aw yeah, like that
All you ever give me is the blues
Come on, fellas, let's do this

Spending all my time trying to show you how I feel
When there is so much I can do
(Oh, I wanna please you) yeah
You say you care for me, but you don't act that way
Come on, girl, who you trying to fool
Tell, Dwayne
Just when I try to fill you what I can do for you
I feel like I'm wasting my time (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't see myself without you
That's why I hang around
All you ever give me is the blues

Girl, you know I'm spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues (oh, I wanna please you)

Every time I see you, girl (why?)
All I wanna know is how I may get next to you
(Oh, I wanna please you)
There's got to be a way
I'm thinking every day
Come on, girl, please give me a clue
Tell, Dwayne
Just because he drives a Porsche (yeah) and I just drive a note
But what about the man inside? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, if that is what you're into, why don't you let me know
Instead of always giving me the blues

Girl, 'cause you know I'm spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues (oh, I wanna please you)
Come on, y'all
Clap your hands
Everybody clap your hands
Oh, I wanna please you
Boys, help me out
Oh, I wanna

Blues
Blues
Blues
Blues
Blues
Blues
Blues
Blues

Spending all my time pleasing you
I've always been true
Why you wanna give me the blues?
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
You're always on my mind all the time (spending all my time pleasing you)
Every day, every night (all you ever give me is the blues)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
I tried twenty times (spending all my time pleasing you)
And you never cross my mind
All you ever give me is the blues
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Spending all my time pleasing you) for my money worked
What can I do for you?
All you ever give me is the blues
