Sandy's Blues

I need you, babe, yeah, you know it's true

I need a woman that won't play me for no fool

When things go wrong, yeah, baby

Yeah, child, sometimes I cry for you

Yeah, babe, I'm gonna cry for you

A man needs a woman to tell his troubles to

I swear don't you know, babe, yes, it's you

When things go wrong, yeah, baby, yeah

Yeah, child, I cry for you

Don't you know I love you, baby? I'm gonna cry for you

You've got a good woman, I want you to take her everywhere you go

Please, treat her kind and gentle, babe, just so she'll know

When things go wrong, yeah, baby

Yeah, babe, I'm gonna cry for you

I'm gonna shed real tears, child, I'm gonna cry for you

Now, won't you bring your pride close to me, now

We're all tellin' the truth now, darlin'

It's the blues now

Now, I want you all to stand up right now

And put your hands on the woman that you love

When things go wrong, yeah, baby

It's gonna, it's gonna make me cry for you

Yeah, child, I'm gonna cry for you

You know, people always askin' me

"'Big Fat, why you always sing a sad, sad song?"

Well, you know, I have me a little girl in Cleveland

You know, it's her that makes me sing this here song

I told her when you need somebody to call your own

I'll be your leanin' post when you come home

Just remember, darlin', when you get yourself together

Yeah, child, don't you know I'm gonna cry for you?

Don't you know, child, I'm gonna cry for you?

Well, that's my story

Yeah, I just told you, baby

Heed my warnin', hey

Loneliness won't be approved for you

When things go wrong, yeah, baby, I'll cry for you

Don't you know, child, I'm gonna cry for you?
