I GOT THE BLUES — The Rolling Stones

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

As I stand by your flame I get burned once again Feelin' low down, I'm blue

As I sit by the fire Of your warm desire I've got the blues for you, yeah

Every night you've been away I've sat down and I have prayed That you're safe in the arms of a guy Who will bring you alive Won't drag you down with abuse

In the silk sheet of time I will find peace of mind Love is a bed full of blues

And I've got the blues for you And I've got the blues for you And I'll bust my brains out for you And I'll tear my hair out I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you If you don't believe what I'm singing At three o'clock in the morning, babe, well I'm singing my song for you
