Lennier's Lament

My lady don't love me like a wan' her to love me
My baby don't love me like she should do
She loves another, he ain't worthy of her
That's why I got them bonehead blues...
I love her higher and you know I love her purer
I love her nobler and I love her so true
She don’t want nothin’ of my respectful lovin’
I’ve got them old bonehead blues...

[instrumental break]

I gotta get away, I gotta leave her
But my heart just won’t let go
So I watch her run into his arms
And try to tell myself it really ain’t so

[instrumental break]

Maybe someday she’s gonna love me
Maybe someday my dream’s gonna come true
Till that day comes, I’ll stay lonesome
Just singing them old bonehead blues....
