I get the blues in the morning.

So bad, I scare myself

My hair is turning gray so fast, I'm worried about my health,


And I shiver all over,

I shiver all over,

I shiver all over, 'cause I ain't got you!


I'm burning with a fever.

My stomach's twisted up in knots.

My blood's pressure is up so high

I know it's gonna stop my heart.


I've got spots all over my body,

I wear shades 'cause my eyes are red

I've got a headache that just won't go away.

It's a wonder that I'm not dead.


My doctor looked at my condition,

He said oh, Bob you look a mess

There ain't a thing I can do about you

But, you sure can use a lot of rest.


And I shiver all over,

I shiver all over,

I shiver all over, 'cause I ain't got you!


I can't even sleep at night, 'cause I ain't got you!
