Lonnie Johnson - Rocks In My Bed (1946) lyrics

rate me

I've rocks in my bed, and I just can't lay down there no more, no more.

I've got rocks in my bed, and I just can't lay down there no more, no more.

Old rockin' chair 's got me, and the blues is knockin' on my door.

If you neva' been in love, please don't try to find it out.

If you neva' been in love, please don't try to find it out.

And if you feel your poor little heart slippin', please ask somebody what it's all about.

'Cause it hurts to love someone, that you can't have all by yo'self.

It hurts to love someone, that you can't have all by yo'self.

And the part that hurts so bad - when you’ve got to share them with somebody else.

Now you told me that you love me baby, and you told me a lie.

But today you quit me - make up your mind or die.

So get yo'self together, 'cause I ain't goin'a stand no more doggin' 'round.

I know you got somebody else, ‘cause the talks all over town.

Babe I’m gettin' awful tired of sleepin' by myself.

If you don’t want my lovin' I’ll dish it out to somebody else.

Got to get myself together, tired of sleepin' by myself.

If you don’t want my lovin' baby, I’ll just shove it on out there to somebody else.
