B. B. King - Why I Sing The Blues (50's) lyrics

I was just a boy with his heart on his sleeve

Got caught up in a girl with a head full of steam

My eyes were blind to what my heart didn't want them to see

My ears fell deaf at the advice of a friend

That girl is crazy, wound up tight in the head

But then our lips collided now her thumb is sliding down on me

I've been screaming at the radio dial

To put a record on and make me smile

'Cause she don't love me anymore

There she goes again off shouting accusations

Words I've heard so much they must be automated

I'm thinking that she means them this time

I gave her all my love and all of my devotion

All I got from here was thoughtless, fake emotion

But I'm hoping that she means it this time

I've been screaming at the radio dial

To put a record on and make me smile

'Cause she don't love me anymore

We went out together, wouldn't call it a date

She got bent out of shape when I offered to pay

Then started towing the line about how she'd like to be my friend

I haven't ever doubled up on mistakes

There ain't no coming back in through the cracks a broken heart makes

I've seeled them up as best as I can

I've been screaming at the radio dial

To put a record on and make me smile

'Cause she don't love me anymore

I've been singing through the radio dial

It's a song I wrote to make you cry

'Cause I don't love you anymore
