Cold empty bed...springs hurt my head Feels like ole ned...wished I was dead What did I do...to be so black and blue Even the mouse...ran from my house They laugh at you...and all that you do What did I do...to be so black and blue I'm white...inside...but, that don't help my case That's life...can't hide...what is in my face How would it end...ain't got a friend My only sin...is in my skin What did I do...to be so black and blue (instrumental break) How would it end...i ain't got a friend My only sin...is in my skin What did I do...to be so black and blue
