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?
Black and blues
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... inside... it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide... what is on my face, ooh!
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?
(Go man... yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Go man, ah)
[Dario Lapenna, go man... ah]
I'm white... inside... it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide... what is on my face, ooh!
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?
To be so black and blue...
("Black and blue"... yeah...
Go go go go go go go... yeah... l'orchestra)
