Blood Sweat & Tears - Blues Pt. 2 lyrics

(Clayton-Thomas, Katz, Lipsius, Colomby)

Mmm Mmmm

There's been some women in my life, yeah

you could say I've known my share

Some of them cried for me

some of them just didn't care, mmmm

some of them been hard on me

some of them tore me up deep inside

some of them were good to me, mmm

some of them never even tried

But woman, let me tell you

you're ev'ry girl I've ever known

you make me feel so very happy sometimes

and then you make me feel so all alone

and sometimes I reach out for you

yeah, but you just won't take my hand

and sometimes in winter

when I'm lonely tired and cold

you know if feels so good in the middle of the night

just to have your hand to hold

please, why don't you tell me where I stand

yeah, take my hand

don't turn your back on me girl, no

turn around and take a good long look at a man in love

Mmmmmmm, yeah yeah yeah

Turn around right now

take a good look at a man who needs your love, yeah

can you see him baby?

tell me what you see!

I want to know, does he look like your man

And if he does, I want you to tell me one little thing

tell me, whoa

why don't you hold him, love him, kiss him, squeeze him

stand beside him, never let him go, ohhh

God knows you love him (fades into Variations on a Theme)
