Ask me who was a freshman to make a light burn so bright I don't know Oh lord, I don't know and ask me who thought of using a candle for a light I don't know Oh lord, I don't know
But ask me how does a man feel when he's got the blues and I'd say misused, abused, downhearted and blue
and ooh the reason I know this 'cause the blues is all I was left with
and ask me why does a man have to reach beyond his needs I don't know Oh lord, I don't know and ask me why does a tree have to shed its leaves I don't know Lord, have mercy, I don't know
But ask me how does a man feel when he's got the blues and I'd say misused, abused, downhearted and blue
and ooh the reason I know this cause the blues is all I was left with
Boy, I could how it feels, when you got a dirty deal and, I could even tell you how it hurts when you been stepped on and treated just like dirt
But ask me why do all good things have to come to an end I don't know Lord, have mercy, I don't know
You see, ask me bout nothing but the blues The blues is all I was left with Ooh lord, the blues is all I was left with The blues, nothing but the blues Read more at http://www.lyrics.com/ask-me-bout-nothin-but-the-blues-lyrics-bobby-blue-bland.html#QmcypZ2phEu6LgI9.99
