The Blues

Raphael Saadiq, D’Wayne Wiggins

[Spoken Intro: Raphael Saadiq]
Yeah, if you don't mind
Won't you pull that bass up a little bit more
Yeah, and um, pull up Tim's drums, a hi-hat
I wanna hear them drums kickin'
Kickin' so hard they can feel it way back in Mississippi
Yeah, like that; aw, yeah, like that
(All you ever give me is the blues)
Come on fellas, let's do it...

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Spendin' all my time trying to show you how I feel
There's so much I can do (Only wanna please ya), yeah
You say you care for me, but you don't act that way
Come on, girl, who you trying to fool?
Tell 'em, Wayne

[Verse 2: D'Wayne Wiggins, Raphael Saadiq]
Just when I try to prove what I can do for you
I feel like I'm wasting my time (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't see myself without you
That's why I hang around
All you ever give me is the blues
(Girl, you know I'm...)

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
(Only wanna please ya)

[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Every time I see you, girl
All I want to know is how I can get next to you
(Only wanna please ya)
There's got to be a way
I'm thinking every day
Come on, girl, please give me a clue
Tell 'em, Wayne...

[Verse 4: D'Wayne Wiggins, Raphael Saadiq]
Just because he drives a Porsche (Yeah), and girl, I drive a Nova
What about the man inside? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, if that is what you're into
Why don't you let me know
Instead of always giving me the blues
(Girl, you know I'm...)

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
(Only wanna please ya)

[Bridge: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Come on, y'all
Clap your hands
Everybody clap your hands
(Only wanna please ya)
Boys, help me out
(Only wanna...)

Blues. Blues. Blues. Blues
Blues. Blues. Blues. Blues

[Outro: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Spending all my time pleasing you
After all we've been through
Why you wanna give me the blues?
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
You're always on my mind all the time
Spending all my time pleasing you
Every day, every night
All you ever give me is the blues
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
I tried twenty times
Spending all my time pleasing you
And you never dropped by
All you ever give me is the blues
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
