Lyrics (Blue) Be Myself - Aretha Franklin, The Ray Bryant Combo

(Blue) Be Myself

Feeling mighty blue
By myself
One old lonesome shoe
By myself
Now that love’s behind me
You’ll find me
By myself
I just sit and stare
At the floor
Just don’t seem to care
Anymore
Since my baby’s gone
Got a padlock on my door
That old black cat
Keeps hanging around
But I am not blaming him
Because things are bad
It isn’t his fault
I’ve gone and lost
The only love
I ever had
Love
Love
I miss him so
It’s no lie
And I’m so «double o»
I could die
So I’ll be
Just me here
By myself
