White Rhythm and Blues

[Verse 1]
I don't want you to hold me tight
'Til you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
You say that somebody really loves you
You'd find her if you just knew how
But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now

[Chorus 2]
Wishing for black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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-a hurt much more than it shows

[Chorus 3]
Just send me black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
I need some white rhythm and blues

[Chorus 4]
I need, black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Just play a little hillbilly rhythm and blues

[Chorus 3]
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody, who cares when you lose
I need some white rhythm and blues

[Chorus 5]
She said all I need is, black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody, (somebody), who cares when you lose
I need a little white rhythm and blues
