I had my head layin' in my hand Ooh, when I woke up this mornin' I had my head layin' in my hand I can't go on givin' If I'm livin' in the house of the blues
Lord, I had a fever My body cold and wrecked with pain Yes, I had such a fever Felt like I was goin' up in flame If I don't get my baby back I know I'm never gonna be the same
She told me she loved me And I just laughed and played the fool Whoa, I thought she was crazy And I thought I was cool But oh, but the lesson I learned It's time for me to go back to another school
Listen to me, baby Hear every word I said I need you here beside me 'Cause without it, I'd be dead
I done lost everything Everything a man can lose I can't go on givin' Still in the house of the blues
She told me that she loved me But I just laughed and played the fool I thought she was crazy And I thought that I was bein' cool Well, I can't go on givin' If I'm livin' in the house of the blues
Alright
I had my head layin' in my hand Ooh, when I woke up this mornin'
