Cassandra Wilson - Billie's Blues lyrics

rate me

I love my man

I’mma lie if I say I don’t

I love my man

I’mma lie if I say I don’t

But I quit my man

I’mma lie if I say I won’t

I’ve been your slave

Ever since I was your babe

I’ve been your slave

Ever since I was your babe

But before I be your dog

I’ll see you in your grave

You wouldn’t give me no fuss

Wouldn’t give me no dinner

Had the nerve to let matchbox on my clothes

I didn’t have so many

But I had a long, long wasted ______

I ain’t good looking

And my hair ain’t curved

I ain’t good looking

And my hair ain’t curved

But my mother she gave me something

That I will carry through this world

Some men let me cause I’m happy

Some cause I’m snappy

Some cause I’m ____

All this faith that I got to my man

Some tell me baby you______

And if you put them all together

It’s everything a good man needs

Instrumental

Some men let me cause I’m happy

Some cause I’m snappy

Some call me honey

Just think I got some money

They tell me

Baby you ______

And if you put them all together

It’s everything a good man needs

If you put them all together

It’s everything a good man needs
