J.d. Souther White Rhythm And Blues
I don't want you to hold me tight
Till you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold
She said
All I need is black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
You say that somebody really loves you
You'd find if you just knew how
But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now
Wishin' for
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
You can close your eyes
And sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do
Instrumental
2:28
Oh, the night time sighs and I hear myself
But the words just stick in my throat
Don't you think that a man like me
Might hurt much more than it shows
Just send me black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
I need some white rhythm and blues
I need black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Just play a little hillbilly rhythm and blues
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
I need some white rhythm and blues
She said all I need
Black roses white rhythm and blues
Somebody
Somebody who cares when you lose
I need a little white rhythm and blues
