Ethel Waters
Kind Lovin’ Blues
[Verse]
Sometimes I wonder, ofttimes I ponder
Why no one cares for me
I'm one girl lonely, all by my only
What I long for is company
But with all my pleading, no one takes me seriously
Some people doubt me, most talk about me
Just to down my name
Although Eve was the first to sin
That don't say all women's the same
But we must suffer and ofttimes bear the blame
[Chorus]
All I want is real kind lovin'
Someone to whisper lovin' words to me
For I've been neglected, downright rejected
Won't some sweet daddy hear my plea?
Once let me love him, he'll like it, I will guarantee
So now it's up to some kind daddy
One who is game enough to take the chance
He'll not regret it, be glad to get it
That real sweet, good, true, kind lovin'
Because I've got those kind lovin' blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
So now it's up to some kind daddy
One who is game enough to take the chance, Lord
He'll not regret it, be glad to get it
That real sweet, good, true, kind lovin'
Papa, mama's got those kind lovin' blues
