Blues

Blues

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq, D'Wayne Wiggins]
Spendin' all my time trying to show how I feel
There's only so much I can do (Only wanna please ya) (Blues)
You say you care for me, but you don't act that way
Come on, girl, who you trying to fool?
Tell 'em, Wayne
Just when I try to prove what I can do for you
I feel like I'm wasting my time
(Yeah right, I've heard that one before)
I can't see myself without you
That's why I hang around
All you ever give me is the blues

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
(Girl, you know I'm) 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)
[Interlude: Girl]
What's, what's, what's, what's mins is mine and what's yours is mine

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq, D'Wayne Wiggins]
Every time I see you, girl
All I wanna know is how I may get next to you
There's got to be a way
I'm thinking every day
Come on, girl, please give me a clue
Tell 'em, Wayne
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

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
(Girl, you know I'm) 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]
Come on, y'all
Clap your hands
Everybody clap your hands
Only wanna please ya
Boys, help me out
Only wanna please ya
[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: Girl]
Listen, wait a minute, I have something to say to you
Now, you're talking about I give you the blues
I don't give you the blues, I just don't think you appreciate me
What happened to all that money you made selling all those records anyway?
You still driving around in a Nova
Talking about the guy driving around in the Porsche, he saved his money
He saved his money to buy a car to drive me around in style
Shoot, I don't know what you think this is, ha ha
And Tim, don't think I forgot about you, sitting off back in the corner with your sunglasses on
You're just as bad as all the rest of 'em
As a matter of fact, you're the worst 'cause you're trying to hide
Come on out here
Tim, I'm talking to you now
Give you the blues, I give you everything I have
I cook for you, sometimes

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the (Blues)
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the (Blues)
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
(Only wanna please ya)
Spending all my time pleasing you
All you ever give me is the blues
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Spending all my time pleasing you
(Spending all my time, woo)
All you ever give me is the blues
(Only wanna please ya)
Spending all my time pleasing you
(Yes, I do)
All you ever give me is the blues
(Yes, I do)
Spending all my time
[Outro: Girl]
What's up? What's up with that?
Where's the money? Where's that money going?
It sure ain't going in my pocket
I don't get my hair and my nails done every day
I mean, it's not like I don't have my own money but that's my money
What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine
And I thought we cleared that up in the beginning
