| Somehow I always knew, that someday we’d be through
|
| Now that it’s happened, I just can’t believe it’s true
|
| I’ve done the best I could to keep from feeling blue
|
| Can’t get you off my mind—what am I gonna do?
|
| (Voodoo, mildew, and shandu!)
|
| Why daddy, I didn’t know you were here
|
| (I'm right here lookin at ya, honey. If it ain’t me, it’s my shadow)
|
| To think I sent you far away
|
| (I ain’t been nowhere)
|
| Sorry—I thought you’d stay away from me
|
| (Not a)
|
| But hopelessly you’ve got me down, you left your voodoo all around—
|
| (I left my trunk in town!)
|
| —I got a need for you
|
| (Oooh, yes)
|
| Thought I’d killed the crave for you
|
| (I hear you)
|
| I dug my heart a grave for you
|
| (Mm hmm)
|
| So don’t you keep on haunting me
|
| The memories won’t let me be
|
| (Yes)
|
| I got a need for you
|
| (I wish you had a weed for me!)
|
| Oh tell me why, why must I think about you?
|
| Oh daddy, tell me why can’t I live without you?
|
| Oh, no one else will do for me
|
| (Mm hmm)
|
| And I feel
|
| You’ve got me cravin' night and day
|
| Come back and take these blues away
|
| (I'm gonna take your pay away) |
| Play me some trumpet and your original blues
|
| Oh baby tell me why must I think about you?
|
| Oh tell me why can’t I live…
|
| You’ve got me cravin' day by day
|
| Come back and take these blues away
|
| I got a need for you
|
| (I don’t want you now!)
|
| And still I got a need for you |
