"Black & Blue" lyrics - EDIE BRICKELL & NEW BOHEMIANS

Baby baby black & blue
Time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do
Tomorrow

Oh the world has got you down
Cry your heart out on the ground
Gimme strength to pick you up
And keep you from dying

Give me strength and give me love
I can never have enough
All I want is someone who
Will never stop trying

Baby baby black & blue
Time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do
Tomorrow

I don't wanna see you cry
Got to make you realize
You got more to give me
Than your sorrow

Yes, yes, yes, yes you do now
Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes you do now
Yes, oh yes, yes you do
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes you do

Far away in my first dream
Visions that are lost to me
Touch me when I'm touching you
Ever so gently

Can you feel it? Yes you can
Just give me your little hand
I will show you someone
That you never thought you'd be

Baby baby black & blue
Time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do
Tomorrow

I don't wanna see you cry
Got to make you realize
You got more to give me than your sorrow

Yes, yes, yes, yes you do now
Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes you do now
Yes, oh yes, yes you do
Oh yes, yes, yes you do

There's a big door with a little window
And the big world is peekin' through
Lay your head here on my pillow
I want to take care of you
There's a big door with a little window
And the big wide world is peekin' through
Lay your head on my pillow
I want to take care of you

Yes, yes, yes, yes I do now
Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes I do now
Yes, oh yes, yes I do
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I do

Oh the world has got you down
Cry your heart out on the ground
Gimme strength to pick you up, pick you up, pick you up
Oh the world has got you down
Cry your heart out on the ground
Gimme strength to pick you up, pick you up, pick you up

Baby baby black & blue
Time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do
Tomorrow

I don't wanna see you cry
Got to make you realize
You got more to give me than your sorrow
