Albert King - I'Ll Play The Blues For You / Lovejoy (2004) by Albert King (보컬) on maniadb.com

This number's bein' especially played
And dedicated to all of the women
From all of the men

You see you women have a good thing goin'
But we hip to ya now

You take two or three pieces
And go down to the laundromat
An' take ya eight hours to wash 'em
No good!

We gonna buy ya washers and dryers
And we're gonna put ya at home in the basement
And we gonna kick the door down that goes to the basement
While we can hear the washer when it stop

And baby, baby, baby, when that washer stop
You better be though
Or you better have a darn good explanation!

Don't you go get whupped all on the toenails
We're gonna raise your eye lashes and whup ya some
And if ya run fast enough
We're gonna whup ya on the bottom of the feet


Ain't that right men?
Speak up for yourself! (yeah, yeah)

There will be no more goin' to the laundromat
Puttin' your clothes in there
And gettin' your girlfriend keep her eye on it
While you step out the back door

You better take my advise
You might need it on your vacation this summer
I'd hate to see ya come up with a leg screwed off
Or a eye punched out
Yeah!

Whoa! yeah, yeah!

I know you don't know it babe (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But things look bad for you
Hey, I know you don't know it babe
But I'm gonna keep a close eye on you

Well, ev'ry time you go to the laundromat, baby
I want you to know, I want you to know
That I'll be there too!

I went to work this mo'nin'
My foreman looked me in the eye
He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya,
But you look sick enough to die"

He sent me to the company doctor
And he examined from head to toe
"Whatever's wrong with ya, young man,
My x-rays just won't show"

I say, angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Angel of mercy
A little mercy is all I need

The finance company
They just don't receive my check
They say they want a payment by Friday
Or they want all-a the furniture back

I went to the credit union
To try to get myself a loan
They said, "I would let ya have it young man,
But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer

Angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Oh, angel of mercy
A little mercy is all I need

Lord have mercy! Oh angel! Oh!

Oh!

Cut my lights off this mo'nin'
They set my furniture out doors
I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago
An' he's says it's gonna rain an'snow

My daughter's got pneumonia
An' my son is down with the flu
My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition
And I can't even 'fford them soup

I say, angel of mercy
Won't you please look down on me?
Oh, angel of mercy
A little mercy is all I need

For the love of a woman
A man will do most anything
For a love of a woman
A man will do most anything
Make him steal from his mother
Just to buy her a diamond ring

Well I love you, baby
Like a schoolboy love his pie
Well I love you, baby
Like a schoolboy love his pie

Well I love you so much, darlin'
You make me wanna cheat an' lie

I've been lovin' you, baby
Ever since I don't know when
I've been lovin' you, baby
Ever since I don't know when
Oh, I love ya so much, darlin', yeah
That I'm comin' right back again
Come on!

Ev'rybody wants to laugh
Ah, but nobody wants to cry
I say ev'rybody wants to laugh
But nobody wants to cry

Ev'rybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die

Ev'rybody wanna hear the truth
But yet, ev'rybody wants to tell a lie
I say ev'rybody wants to hear the truth
But still they all wanna tell a lie


Oh ev'rybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die

Ev'rybody wanna know the reason
Without even askin' why
Oh, ev'rybody wanna know the reason
Oh, without even askin' why

You know ev'rybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
