Lyrics Play the Blues - Joan Armatrading

Play the Blues

Blue hat
Checked shirt
Pimple on your cheek
Ears like handle bars
Teeth yellow
Like the sun
Gravelled voice like a beaten path
But baby when you sing the blues
I’d take off all my clothes for you
Baby when you sing the blues
I’d take off all my clothes for you
Wake up
Every day
Turn my face
To feel the morning breeze
At night
When we meet
You’re brighter than a constellation of stars
Baby when you sing the blues
I’d take all my clothes off for you
Baby when you sing the blues
I’d take all my clothes off for you
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
As long as baby don’t leave
I’m happy every day
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
As long as baby don’t leave
I’m happy every day
Blue hat
Checked shirt
Pimple on your cheek
Ears like handle bars
Teeth yellow
Like the sun
Gravelled voice like a beaten path
But baby when you sing the blues
I’d take off all my clothes for you
Baby when you sing the blues
I’d take off all my clothes for you
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away
As long as baby don’t leave
I’m happy every day
