[Verse 1]
Now you see all this time
Work nine to five
Monday through Friday I'm singing
I sing the blues for you
[Chorus 1]
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
My feet are cold but I can't complain
And I wonder how you have been
I need you love, I miss you so
[Verse 2]
I know it's right but it's always strange
How I scream, all this life's worth all the while
Heartache and slave driving pain
I sing the blues for you
[Chorus 2]
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
My feet are cold but I can't complain
And I wonder how you have been
I need you love, I miss you so
I know it's right but it's always strange
